Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder. It is typically performed to treat gallstones, inflammation of the gallbladder, and other gallbladder-related conditions. During the procedure, small incisions are made in the abdomen and a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at the end) is inserted to view the gallbladder. The surgeon then uses specialized instruments to carefully remove the gallbladder. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has several advantages over traditional open surgery, including less pain, shorter recovery time, and reduced risk of complications. It is a common and effective treatment option for gallbladder disease.
