Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - Gallbladder
Dr. Zeev Duieb is a highly skilled general surgeon with extensive experience in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the gold-standard procedure for removing the gallbladder. This minimally invasive approach is most commonly used to treat gallstones, gallbladder inflammation, and related digestive symptoms.
What Is a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?
A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a keyhole surgery to remove the gallbladder using small incisions and a camera-guided technique. This method is preferred over open surgery due to:
-
Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
-
Less pain after surgery
-
Faster recovery time
-
Often performed as an overnight stay
Why You Might Need Gallbladder Surgery
You may be a candidate for gallbladder removal if you experience:
-
Gallstones (biliary colic)
-
Inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis)
-
Repeated upper abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting
-
Bile duct blockage or pancreatitis due to gallstones
Dr. Duieb will carefully assess your symptoms, imaging results, and medical history before recommending surgery.
