laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, often due to gallstones or inflammation. The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a tiny camera (laparoscope) along with specialized instruments. The camera provides a live view inside the abdomen on a monitor, guiding the surgeon to carefully detach and remove the gallbladder. The small incisions typically result in less pain, scarring, and quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery. The procedure is generally safe and performed under general anesthesia.
