LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY SURGERY INDIA

LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY SURGERY

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed through several incisions. A tiny cut is made just below the navel with a laproscope.The surgeon views the gallbladder on a monitor and does the surgery with tools inserted in three other small cuts made in the upper part of the abdomen. The gallbladder is then taken out through one of the incisions. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy doesn't require patient to stay long in the hospital.With a shorter recovery time and less pain laparoscopic cholecystectomy has made patient's life easy and cheerful..

Possible complications include:

1.bleeding

2.infection and injury to the bile duct

3.intestines or major blood vessels.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy provides a safe treatment for most patients with symptomatic gallstones and has become the treatment of choice for many patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy decreases pain and disability without increasing mortality or overall state of unhealthiness. The cost of laparoscopic cholecystectomy is equal to or slightly less than that of open cholecystectomy. A possible complication during operation could be the excessive bleeding wherein more often than not surgeons shift to open laparoscopic cholecystectomy in such cases.
