Key Hole Surgery: The surgeon make 3 to 4 holes in the abdomen and inserts carbon dioxide gas to inflate the abdomen. Instruments are inserted using the other holes (ports), one of which is a laparoscopic camera. Other ports are used to insert other laparoscopic instruments such as scissors or instruments to tie knots. This procedure usually takes an hour. You may be able to go home the same day after procedure or may need 1 night stay in the hospital. Occasionally, the surgeon may need to convert a Key Hole surgery to Open surgery if there are difficulties in completing the procedure or complications.

Open Surgery: The surgeon makes an incision over the right upper part of the abdomen. The common method is usually Key Hole surgery and Open method is reserved in certain situations only. The operation will take around an hour to two hours. You will need admission to hospital for 2 days.

At Electiva, gallbladder removal treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s medical history and diagnostic tests to confirm the need for surgery. On the day of the procedure, patients are given general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the surgery. Our skilled surgeons then perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy, making small incisions in the abdomen and inserting specialized instruments and a laparoscope. The laparoscope provides a magnified view of the surgical area, enabling precise removal of the gallbladder. Once the gallbladder is carefully dissected and detached from its attachments, it is extracted through one of the small incisions. After the procedure, patients are closely monitored during the recovery period, and post-operative care instructions are provided to promote healing and a smooth recovery. Electiva’s dedicated healthcare team ensures that patients receive exceptional care and support throughout the gallbladder removal treatment process.

After surgery, you can expect to experience relief from pain within a few weeks. The recovery period for Key Hole Surgery is approximately two weeks, while for Open Surgery, it extends to around six weeks.
