The gall bladder is a part of the digestive system which stores and secretes bile used in the process of breaking down food. Most medical experts believe that if the gall bladder does not regulate the formation of bile properly, it transforms into hard fragments. The stones can largely vary in size from a rice grain to a golf ball.

Crampy abdominal Gallstone pain is the most common symptom. Other symptoms include loss of appetite, constipation, unusual vomitting, bloating of abdomen or inability to have a bowel movement for prolonged periods. Cholecystectomy is used to treat gallstones and the complications they cause. Your doctor may recommend cholecystectomy if you have:
Gallstones in the gallbladder (cholelithiasis)
Gallstones in the bile duct (choledocholithiasis)
Gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis)
Gall stone is the hard stone made of bile or other residues that develops inside the cavity of the gall bladder. Most gallstones are composed primarily of cholesterol. Therefore, ingestion of too much of cholesterol can be a risk factor. For women, the risk of gallstones increases with age, use of oral contraceptive, rapid weight loss, family history of diabetes, etc.
Cholecystectomy is advisable in case of Gall Bladder Stones. Cholecystectomy is performed using general anesthesia, so you won’t be awake during the procedure. Your surgeon performs the cholecystectomy using either by laparoscopic or open procedure.
Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) cholecystectomy
Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. Cholecystectomy is a common treatment of symptomatic gallstones and other gallbladder conditions. The Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy procedure uses several small cuts instead of one large one. A laparoscope, a narrow tube with a camera, is inserted through one incision. This allows your doctor to see your gallbladder on a screen.
Traditional (open) cholecystectomy
During open cholecystectomy your surgeon makes a 6-inch (15-centimeter) incision in your abdomen below your ribs on your right side to reveal your liver and gallbladder. After removal of the gall bladder, the incision is sutured. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy isn’t appropriate for everyone. In some cases your surgeon may begin with a laparoscopic approach and find it necessary to make a larger incision because of scar tissue from previous operations or complications.
However, more than 97% cases at Desun are successfully done using Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy procedure is usually the more preferred type of surgery for patients suffering from gall bladder stones. This is because of the following reasons:
The cuts are much smaller, recovery is much faster and less painful after laparoscopic surgery than after open surgery.
The hospital stay after laparoscopic surgery is shorter than after an open surgery. People generally go home the next day, compared to 4 days or longer for open surgery.
Patients will spend less time away from work and other activities after laparoscopic surgery (about 7 to 10 days compared with 4 to 6 weeks).
After gallbladder surgery you may stay 1 or 2 days in the hospital.
Most people can return to their normal activities in 7 to 10 days. People who have laparoscopic gallbladder surgery are sore for about a week. But in 2 to 3 weeks they have much less discomfort than people who have open surgery. No special diets or other precautions are needed after surgery.
Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is the best method of treating gallstones that cause symptoms, unless there is a reason that the surgery should not be done.
Laparoscopic surgery is used most commonly when no factors are present that may complicate the surgery.
Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is safe and effective. Surgery gets rid of gallstones located in the gallbladder. It does not remove stones in the common bile duct. Gallstones can form in the common bile duct years after the gallbladder is removed, although this is rare.
The overall risk of laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is very low. The most serious possible complications include:
Infection of an incision.
Internal bleeding.
Injury to the common bile duct.
Injury to the small intestine by one of the instruments used during surgery.
Risks of general anaesthesia.
After gallbladder surgery, some people have ongoing abdominal symptoms, such as pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhoea (post-cholecystectomy syndrome).
Recovery is much faster and less painful after laparoscopic surgery than after open surgery.
The hospital stay after laparoscopic surgery is shorter than after open surgery. People generally go home the next day, compared to 4 days or longer for open surgery.
Recovery is faster after laparoscopic surgery.
You will spend less time away from work and other activities after laparoscopic surgery(about 7 to 10 days compared with 4 to 6 weeks).
