Closed Gallbladder Surgery

Comprehensive Closed Gallbladder Surgery at Aktif International Hospitals

Closed gallbladder surgery, also known as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver. This procedure is typically performed to treat gallstones, inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), or other gallbladder-related conditions. At Aktif International Hospitals, we offer safe and effective closed gallbladder surgery performed by experienced surgeons using advanced laparoscopic techniques. Our goal is to provide patients with optimal outcomes and minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is closed gallbladder surgery, and why is it performed?

Closed gallbladder surgery, or laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is a surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder. The gallbladder may need to be removed due to various reasons, including:

Gallstones: Hardened deposits of bile salts or cholesterol in the gallbladder that can cause pain, inflammation, or blockage of the bile ducts.
Cholecystitis: Inflammation of the gallbladder often caused by gallstones, which can lead to severe abdominal pain, fever, and infection.
Biliary dyskinesia: Dysfunction of the gallbladder’s ability to contract and release bile properly, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and bloating.
Gallbladder polyps or tumors: Abnormal growths in the gallbladder that may be benign or cancerous and require surgical removal.

Closed gallbladder surgery is performed to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and improve overall health and well-being for patients with gallbladder-related conditions.

Who is a good candidate for closed gallbladder surgery?

Good candidates for closed gallbladder surgery may include individuals who:

Have symptomatic gallstones causing pain, inflammation, or other complications
Experience recurrent episodes of cholecystitis or biliary colic
Have gallbladder polyps or tumors that require surgical removal
Are in good overall health and able to tolerate surgery

A thorough evaluation by a surgeon will determine if closed gallbladder surgery is the most appropriate treatment option for the individual based on their specific medical condition and health status.

How is closed gallbladder surgery performed, and what is the recovery process like?

Closed gallbladder surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making several small incisions in the abdomen through which specialized surgical instruments and a tiny camera (laparoscope) are inserted. The surgeon uses the laparoscope to visualize the gallbladder and surrounding structures and carefully removes the gallbladder using precise surgical techniques.

After closed gallbladder surgery, patients are monitored closely in the recovery area before being discharged home the same day or after a short hospital stay. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a week after surgery, although strenuous physical activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. Pain medication and proper wound care instructions are provided to manage discomfort and promote healing during the recovery period.

What are the benefits of closed gallbladder surgery?

The benefits of closed gallbladder surgery may include:

Minimally invasive approach with smaller incisions and reduced postoperative pain
Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery
Lower risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, or hernias
Resolution of symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and bloating associated with gallbladder disease
Improved quality of life and overall health for patients with gallbladder-related conditions

Closed gallbladder surgery offers a safe and effective treatment option for individuals with gallbladder disease, providing relief from symptoms and improving long-term outcomes.
