Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective routine procedure for gallstones. This minimally invasive gallbladder removal offers quick recovery and short hospital stays, making it the standard of care.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Symptomatic cholelithiasis (gallstones) often necessitates surgical intervention.
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has largely replaced open procedures for gallbladder removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the institutional technique for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • To highlight the safety, efficacy, and perioperative care associated with the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A two-surgeon, four-cannula technique is employed.
  • Closed technique is used for pneumoperitoneum establishment.
  • Cautery is utilized for hemostasis during dissection.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is routinely completed safely.

  • Excellent hemostasis is achieved using cautery.
  • Cholangiography can be performed in selected cases.
  • Hospitalization is typically less than 24 hours.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective standard procedure for symptomatic gallstones.
    • The described technique ensures successful gallbladder removal with minimal patient recovery time.
