Your physician has discussed the indications for surgery and the criteria that must be met prior to your Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. This information is designed to offer additional information on your preparation before surgery, the surgery itself, and the road to recovery after your procedure.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
The Gallbladder is a small bag, roughly the shape and size of a pear that sits underneath the liver, on the right side of the abdomen. Its main purpose is to store and concentrate bile produced by the liver. Bile is released from the gallbladder after eating, aiding digestion. Bile travels through common bile ducts (CBD) into the small intestine. Gallstones are pieces of solid material that form in the gallbladder. These stones develop because cholesterol and pigments in bile sometimes form hard particles.
What is the Gallbladder?
- The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that rests below the right side of the liver.
- The main purpose of the gallbladder is to collect and concentrate a digestive liquid (called bile) produced by the liver. Bile is released from the gallbladder after eating, aiding digestion. Bile moves through tapered tubular channels (bile ducts) into the small intestine.
