Dear Rajan You have to go for laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery camera (cholecystectomy) removes the gallbladder and gallstones through several small incisions within the abdomen. The surgeon inflates your abdomen with air or carbon dioxide in order to see clearly. The surgeon inserts a lighted scope mounted on a video camera (laparoscope) into one incision near the belly button. Choices then utilizes a video monitor like a guide while inserting surgical instruments into the other incisions to remove your gallbladder. Prior to the surgeon removes the gallbladder, you might have a special X-ray procedure called intraoperative cholangiography, which shows the anatomy of the bile ducts. You will need general anesthesia with this surgery, which usually lasts 2 hours or less. After surgery, bile flows in the liver (where it's made) through the common bile duct and in to the small intestine. Since the gallbladder continues to be removed, the body can't store bile between meals. In most people, it has little if any impact on digestion. In about 2 out of 10 laparoscopic gallbladder surgeries in the United States, the surgeon needs to change to a wide open surgical method that requires a bigger incision.1 Types of issues that can require open rather than laparoscopic surgery include unexpected inflammation, scar tissue, injury, or bleeding.

Oh man! I had a healthy glldbaalder prior to surgery and then not even a month later I had gallstones and had to have emergency surgery to have my glldbaalder removed. Two surgeries in a month was not fun! Here is hoping if they don't take yours out that it doesn't get any worse.. |
