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.
