Gallbladder Surgery
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy(Keyhole Gallbladder Surgery) is one of the most commonly performed operations worldwide.
The most common indication for the operation is biliary colic. After a meal if you feel an intermittent pain on your upper right side of belly probably you have biliary colic pain.
In such a case, gallstone disease is suspected and an abdominal ultrasound may be required.
If the ultrasound result shows gallstones and is consistent with the examination findings of biliary colic, gallbladder surgery is required.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy(Keyhole Gallbladder Surgery) is the “gold standard” treatment for the surgical treatment of gallstone disease.
This procedure results in less postoperative pain, better cosmesis, and shorter hospital stays and disability from work than open cholecystectomy.
Most individuals with gallstones are asymptomatic. In such individuals, gallstones are detected incidentally on abdominal imaging.
The majority of patients found to have incidental gallstones will remain asymptomatic. Patients who develop symptoms typically report biliary colic.
If gallstones do not cause symptoms, surgery is not necessary.
