What is laparoscopic cholecystectomy?

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common gallbladder surgery performed laparoscopically to remove the gallbladder from the patient's body.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is usually performed under general anesthesia to ensure pain-free surgery. During surgery, the doctor makes a puncture in the abdomen to insert a laparoscope and surgical instruments. Laparoscopic surgery allows observation of the patient's internal organs and cholecystectomy.

Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery is less invasive, bleeding is less, recovery time is shorter, postoperative pain and complications are less, and patients can return to mobility faster.
