Gallbladder Surgery

Overview

About Gallbladder Surgery

The gallbladder, a small, pear-shaped organ, plays a key role in digestion. Its digestive juices break down food’s complex elements. However, it’s all about a healthy gallbladder.

The reverse can do worse to your health. A damaged gallbladder can impact the efficiency of the digestive system. At Sabir Biaritics, we provide gallbladder removal surgery to help you fight. And the best part is that you can live a healthy life without a gallbladder.

How Cholecystectomy Works?

Gallbladder surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, in simple terms, is the surgical method to remove the gallbladder. While bile helps digest fats, it isn’t effective when it is diseased or dysfunctional.

Here, the surgeon detaches the gallbladder from its connections to the liver and bile ducts. The two common types of cholecystectomy procedures include:

  • Robot assisted Cholecystectomy: It is a minimally invasive surgery performed using a Da Vinci robot that involves small incisions in the abdomen through specialized surgical tools.
  • Open Cholecystectomy (Traditional Surgery): It is performed when the gallbladder is severely inflamed or infected and where laparoscopic surgery isn’t feasible. Under this process, a single, larger incision is made in the abdomen to access and remove the gallbladder.

Who is Eligible for Gallbladder Surgery?

At Sabir Biaritics, Dr. Sabir and his team work closely with patients to assess their medical condition and determine the best approach for their gallbladder removal surgery. Anyone who is suffering from gallbladder-related conditions is eligible for the surgery. Such common conditions include:

  • Gallstones: The presence of tiny gallstones that cause nausea, pain, or digestive discomfort.
  • Gallbladder Inflammation (Cholecystitis): An acute or chronic inflammation that results in abdominal pain & fever in the body.
  • Biliary Dyskinesia: A poor functioning of the gallbladder, diagnosed from tests like HIDA scan.
  • Gallbladder Polyps or Tumors: Gallbladder tumors that require surgical removal to rule out cancer risks.

However, you must consider factors like pregnancy and other health conditions. Dr. Sabir and his team of experts take care of every patient in the best way.
