In This video Dr R K Mishra delivering lecture on Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy at World Laparoscopy Hospital. A cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove your gallbladder. Itis a pear-shaped organ that sits just below your liver on the upper right side of your abdomen. Your gallbladder collects and stores bile a digestive fluid produced in your liver. A cholecystectomy may be necessary if you experience pain from gallstones that block the flow of bile. A cholecystectomy is a common surgery, and it carries only a small risk of complications. In most cases, you can go home the same day of your cholecystectomy.
