Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy treatment in Millers Road

Gallbladder removal is a procedure that is best performed through minimally access surgical procedures by laparoscopic surgery. A Laparoscopic cholecystectomy treatment in Millers Road is performed through a few small incisions (up to 4) between 0.5 and 1 cm which varies based on the circumstances of the case and the laparoscopic technology used. 

If you develop gallstones in your gallbladder and they start causing complications, the gallbladder will need to be removed. Cholelithiasis is the medical term for the presence of gallstones. The following conditions may also necessitate this kind of surgery: biliary dyskinesia, which occurs when the gallbladder fails to empty bile properly due to a defect; pancreatitis, or pancreas inflammation caused by gallstones; cholecystitis, or bladder inflammation; or choledocholithiasis, which occurs when gallstones move to the common bile duct and block it, preventing the gallbladder and rest of the biliary tree from draining.

Solutions in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Before performing a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, your doctor will conduct a thorough physical examination and review your medical history. This will aid in reducing or avoiding any risks. The doctor will place a laparoscope through a keyhole incision in your lower abdomen to first locate the damaged gallbladder. The surgeon will then drain the gallbladder and remove it through the tiny incision with the help of the laparoscopic apparatus. Dissolvable sutures will be used to close the incisions. As these small incisions heal much more quickly than conventional surgical incisions, the patient can return home the following day.

Complexities of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy

A Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy has very fewer risks in comparison to open surgery. On rare occasions, there can be an allergic reaction, infection, blood clots, bleeding, rapid heartbeat, injury to the bile duct, liver, small intestine, or pancreatitis which are possible side effects of anaesthesia or other medications.
