Dear Qamar You can opt for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. The operation requires only four small openings in the abdomen. Patients usually have minimal post-operative pain after laparoscopic surgery. 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. Under general anesthesia, so the patient is asleep throughout the procedure. Using a cannula (a narrow tube-like instrument), the surgeon enters the abdomen in the area of the belly-button. A laparoscope is connected to a special camera is inserted through the cannula, giving the surgeon a magnified view of the patient's internal organs on a television screen. Other cannulas are inserted which allow your surgeon to delicately separate the gallbladder from its attachments and then remove it through one of the openings. Many laparoscopic surgeons perform an X-ray, called a cholangiogram, to identify stones, which may be located in the bile channels, or to insure that structures have been identified. If the laparoscopic surgeon finds one or more stones in the common bile duct, laparoscopic surgeon may remove them with a special scope, may choose to have them removed later through a second minimally invasive procedure, or may convert to an open operation in order to remove all the stones during the laparoscopic operation. After the laparoscopic surgeon removes the gallbladder, the small incisions are closed with a stitch or two or with surgical tape. With regards Sadhana |
