What Is Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery?
Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, medically known as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove the gallbladder affected by stones. Instead of a large incision, the surgery is performed through small keyhole cuts using a camera and specialized instruments.
This modern technique has become the preferred treatment for gallbladder stones because it offers less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring. At Sunridge Multispecialty Hospital, laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is performed using advanced equipment under strict safety protocols.

How Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery Is Performed
The procedure is carried out under general anesthesia. Small incisions are made in the abdomen through which a laparoscope (camera) and surgical instruments are inserted.
The surgeon visualizes the gallbladder on a screen, carefully separates it from surrounding structures, and removes it safely. The gallbladder is extracted through one of the small incisions, and the cuts are closed with minimal tissue damage.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery
One of the main advantages of laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is reduced post-operative pain. Since muscles are not cut extensively, patients experience less discomfort after surgery.
Additional benefits include smaller scars, lower risk of infection, shorter hospital stay, and faster return to daily activities. These advantages make laparoscopic surgery ideal for most patients with gallbladder stones.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery?
Most patients with symptomatic gallbladder stones are suitable candidates for laparoscopic surgery. It is especially beneficial for patients who want faster recovery and minimal disruption to their routine.
However, the final decision depends on factors such as severity of inflammation, previous abdominal surgeries, and overall health of the patient.
When Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery May Not Be Suitable
In certain complicated cases, such as severe infection, extensive scarring, or anatomical variations, laparoscopic surgery may not be the safest option.
In such situations, open gallbladder surgery may be recommended to ensure complete and safe removal of the gallbladder. Patient safety always guides the choice of procedure.
Recovery After Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery
Recovery after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is generally smooth. Most patients can walk within a few hours after surgery and resume light activities within a few days.
Pain is usually mild and managed with medications. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting for a few weeks and follow dietary recommendations to support digestion during recovery.
