At Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center (CGHMC), we understand how gallbladder issues can disrupt your daily life. Whether it’s persistent abdominal pain, nausea, or digestive discomfort, gallbladder conditions can significantly impact your health. That’s why we offer Minimally Invasive Gallbladder Surgery, also called Laparascopic Cholecystectomy—an advanced solution designed to treat gallbladder problems with less pain, faster recovery, and better outcomes.
Understanding the Gallbladder and Its Common Problems
The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver. Its primary role is to store and release bile, a digestive fluid that helps break down fats. While the gallbladder is helpful, it is not essential for survival, and problems with this organ are common.
Common Gallbladder Conditions:
- Gallstones (Cholelithiasis): Solid particles that form from bile, causing pain or blockages.
- Cholecystitis: Inflammation of the gallbladder, often due to gallstones.
- Biliary Dyskinesia: Poor function of the gallbladder, leading to digestive discomfort.
- Gallbladder Polyps or Cancer: Rare but serious conditions requiring medical intervention.
When gallbladder issues cause significant pain or complications, the best solution is often gallbladder removal surgery.
What is Minimally Invasive Gallbladder Surgery?
Also known as Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, this cutting-edge procedure removes the gallbladder using small incisions and advanced surgical tools. Unlike traditional open surgery, which requires a large abdominal cut, this method uses a laparoscope—a thin tube with a camera and light—to guide surgeons with precision.
Step-by-Step Procedure:
- General Anesthesia: The patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort.
- Tiny Incisions: 3 to 4 small incisions are made in the abdomen.
- Laparoscope Insertion: A camera-equipped tube provides real-time visuals for the surgeon.
- Gallbladder Removal: Specialized instruments are used to detach and remove the gallbladder.
- Closure: The small incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue, leaving minimal scarring.
