Dear Dhiraj Your Massi Ji should go for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Gallbladder removal is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. Today, gallbladder surgery is performed laparoscopically. The medical name for this procedure is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. BELOW ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF PERFORMING THE PROCEDURE LAPAROSCOPICALLY: Rather than a five to seven inch incision, the operation requires only four small openings in the abdomen. Patients usually have minimal post-operative pain. Patients usually experience faster recovery than open gallbladder surgery patients. Most patients go home within one day and enjoy a quicker return to normal activities. No other operation continues to be so profoundly affected by the advent of laparoscopy as cholecystectomy. Actually, the converse may be better; laparoscopic cholecystectomy continues to be instrumental in ushering within the laparoscopic era. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has rapidly become the procedure of choice for routine gallbladder removal and it has get to be the most typical major abdominal procedure performed in Western countries.
