Why remove the gallbladder? Laparoscopic cholecystectomies help people with gallstones that cause pain and infection, and these are crystals that form there that obstruct or prevent the flow of bile into the gastrointestinal tract, which also causes inflammation of the gallbladder. Symptoms of gallstones include: A feeling of swelling. Fruit. Yellow skin. Nausea. Pain on the right side of the abdomen may reach the back or shoulder. How important is a gallbladder removal? A cholecystectomy helps to control the pain and treat infections caused by gallstones; if left untreated, the pain and infection may increase and the gallbladder may burst, threatening the patient’s life. What are the advantages of an laparoscopic cholecystectomy ? The physician determines whether this procedure is appropriate for the patient or an open excision procedure is appropriate, but this procedure generally has several advantages: Less pain. Reduced risk of complications. A faster recovery. Steps to Prepare for A Laparoscopic Bladectomy First the physician performs several tests, including abdominal ultrasound. Blood analysis.
