What is the Gallbladder and Why Remove It?

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that sits just under the liver. Its main function is to store bile, a digestive fluid that helps break down fats in the intestines. Bile is produced by the liver and flows into the small intestine when needed for digestion. When the body is not digesting food, bile is stored in the gallbladder.

There are several conditions that may necessitate the removal of the gallbladder: Gallstones, Cholecystitis, Biliary Dyskinesia, Choledocholithiasis, Gallbladder and Polyps.

Why Consider Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?

Minimally Invasive

Minimally Invasive

Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions (usually four) rather than a large open incision, resulting in less trauma to the body and a faster recovery.

Quicker Recovery

Quicker Recovery

Patients who undergo Lap. Chole can typically return to their normal activities within one to two weeks, compared to four to six weeks with open surgery.

Less Pain

Less Pain

The smaller incisions used in laparoscopic surgery cause less post-operative pain, reducing the need for strong pain medications.

Shorter Hospital Stay

Shorter Hospital Stay

Many patients are discharged the same day or within 24 hours after surgery, whereas open surgery requires a longer hospital stay.

Lower Risk of Complications

Lower Risk of Complications

Laparoscopic surgery reduces the risk of infection, blood loss, and other complications compared to traditional open surgery.

Smaller Scars

Smaller Scars

The tiny incisions used in laparoscopic surgery result in minimal scarring, which is more cosmetically pleasing than the larger scar associated with open surgery.

Risks and Complications

At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.

Diagnosis

  • Physical Exam

    Assess symptoms like upper abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting.

  • Medical History

    Review any history of gallstones or digestive issues.

  • Ultrasound

    Detect gallstones, blockages, or inflammation in the gallbladder.

  • Imaging Tests

    Use CT scans or MRIs for detailed views of the gallbladder and ducts.

Recovery and Aftercare

Pain and Discomfort

Pain and Discomfort

Mild pain or discomfort around the incision sites and shoulders (from the gas used to inflate the abdomen) is common but usually subsides within a few days. Pain medication may be prescribed to manage any discomfort.

Activity Restrictions

Activity Restrictions

Patients should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activities, or exercise for at least 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. Walking and light activities are encouraged to promote circulation and healing.

Dietary Changes

Dietary Changes

Most patients can resume a normal diet after surgery, but it is advisable to avoid fatty, greasy, or spicy foods for a few weeks to allow the digestive system to adjust to the absence of the gallbladder.

Incision Care

Incision Care

The incision sites should be kept clean and dry to prevent infection. Patients should follow their surgeon’s instructions regarding showering and wound care.

Follow-Up Appointments

Follow-Up Appointments

A follow-up appointment is typically scheduled a week or two after surgery to check the incision sites and ensure the patient is healing well.

Long-Term Care and Maintenance

Most patients who undergo gallbladder removal (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) lead normal, healthy lives without long-term dietary restrictions. However, to maintain optimal digestive health, patients should focus on a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. It is advisable to avoid high-fat or fried foods, particularly in the weeks following surgery, to prevent digestive discomfort.

Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water also helps with digestion and can prevent constipation, which can occasionally occur post-surgery.
