Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, most commonly performed to treat gallstones and their complications. Dr. Apoorv Goel, a skilled laparoscopic and gastrointestinal surgeon, specializes in this advanced technique, ensuring patient safety and faster recovery. Unlike open surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy involves making 3-4 small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon views the internal organs on a video monitor and carefully removes the gallbladder with precision. This approach offers several advantages, including less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, minimal scarring, and quicker return to daily activities.

Patients may require this procedure if they experience symptoms like recurrent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or indigestion due to gallstones or gallbladder inflammation. In some cases, complications like cholecystitis (infection), pancreatitis, or bile duct obstruction necessitate urgent removal of the gallbladder. Dr. Apoorv Goel follows a patient-centered approach, conducting thorough preoperative evaluations and providing individualized care plans. The surgery typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and most patients are discharged the same or next day.

Recovery is generally smooth, with patients advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for a few weeks. Dietary adjustments may be recommended temporarily. Under the expert hands of Dr. Apoorv Goel, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe, effective, and reliable solution for gallbladder-related disorders, enabling patients to resume a healthier life with minimal disruption. Regular follow-ups and guidance ensure complete recovery and long-term well-being.
