Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, commonly known as lap chole, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder. This surgery is typically performed to treat gallstones and their complications, such as cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder).
Procedure Details:
- Technique: The procedure involves making several small incisions in the abdomen, through which a laparoscope (a small, thin tube with a camera and light at the end) and other surgical instruments are inserted. The camera provides a live video feed to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to see inside the abdomen and guide the instruments.
- Gallbladder Removal: The surgeon carefully separates the gallbladder from its attachments to the liver and other nearby structures. Key structures like the cystic duct and cystic artery are clipped and cut before the gallbladder is removed through one of the abdominal incisions.
- Advantages: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is favored over open surgery because it typically results in less pain, shorter recovery times, smaller scars, and a lower risk of infection. Most patients can go home the same day or the next day after surgery.
- Recovery: Postoperative recovery generally involves managing minor pain and gradually returning to normal activities. Patients are usually advised to follow a specific diet immediately after the surgery to allow the digestive system to adjust.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the standard method for gallbladder removal due to its effectiveness and patient-friendly approach, significantly improving the recovery experience for patients suffering from gallbladder issues.
