Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Using Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) technology, this procedure involves making 3 small incisions on the abdomen to insert equipment and a camera. The incisions are about 0.5 - 1 centimeter in size. The advantages of this method include small wounds, less pain for the patient, and reduced tissue injury, resulting in a faster recovery.


Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) Procedure

  1. The patient will be put under general anesthesia before the procedure.
  2. The surgeon makes one 1 cm incision near the navel and the right rib cage for the camera, and two other 0.5 cm incisions for surgical instruments. The surgeon then removes the gallbladder.
  3. The total procedure time is approximately 1 - 1.5 hours.
  4. After the procedure is complete, the patient will be moved to a recovery room for about 2 hours and then transferred to a patient room. After a 2-day hospital stay, the doctor will consider discharging the patient to go home.

Preparation Before LC

  • Refrain from all food and drinks for at least 6 hours before the procedure.

Post-Operative Care after LC

  • After the procedure, you may experience bloating or abdominal discomfort, which usually resolves on its own. If you have abnormal symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, a hard abdomen, significant bloating, shortness of breath, or fever, return to see a doctor immediately.
