Cholecystectomy Treatment
A cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that sits below the liver. It stores bile, a fluid that helps to digest fats.
There are two main types of cholecystectomies: laparoscopic cholecystectomy and open cholecystectomy.
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: This is a minimally invasive surgery that is performed through small incisions in the abdomen. The surgeon inserts a laparoscope, a thin, tube-like instrument with a camera on the end, into one of the incisions. The laparoscope allows the surgeon to see inside the abdomen. The surgeon then inserts other instruments through the incisions to remove the gallbladder.
- Open cholecystectomy: This is a traditional surgery that is performed through a larger incision in the abdomen. The surgeon removes the gallbladder through this incision.
Overall, cholecystectomy is a safe and effective procedure for removing the gallbladder. For further queries related to cholecystectomy, contact Dr. Satish Reddy for best cholecystectomy Surgery in Hyderabad.
