About this Procedure
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is keyhole surgery to remove the gallbladder, a small organ under the liver that stores bile. The NHS explains that most people who need their gallbladder removed have keyhole surgery. The surgeon makes a small cut near the belly button and a few other small cuts on the right side of the tummy, fills the abdomen with air, and removes the gallbladder using a laparoscope and small instruments.
Gallbladder removal is often recommended when gallstones cause problems, such as severe or frequent tummy pain. A gallstone can block a bile duct, which may cause yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) and inflammation of the gallbladder. If gallstones are not causing symptoms, the gallbladder may not need to be removed. You can live a normal life without a gallbladder.
The operation is done under general anaesthetic and, according to the NHS, usually takes about 1 hour. Open surgery is sometimes needed if the gallbladder is very inflamed or keyhole surgery is not possible. Most people go home the same day, though some stay overnight. Wounds are sore for a few days, and many people return to work 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, depending on their job and the type of surgery.
