What is Cholecystectomy Surgery?
Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, most commonly performed to treat symptomatic gallstones, chronic cholecystitis, or biliary colic. It is one of the most frequently performed abdominal surgeries worldwide and can be done through minimally invasive (laparoscopic) or open techniques depending on the patient's condition. The procedure relieves pain, prevents complications like infection or gallbladder rupture, and allows most patients to return to normal digestion without the gallbladder.
Who may be considered?
Cholecystectomy Surgery may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
A minimally invasive technique using small incisions and a camera-guided instrument to remove the gallbladder, resulting in less pain and faster recovery.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Most PopularA minimally invasive technique using small incisions and a camera-guided instrument to remove the gallbladder, resulting in less pain and faster recovery.
Comprehensive Investigations
CBC, Liver Function Test, Abdominal Ultrasound, ECG, Blood Sugar, HIV/HBsAg/HCV screening, Anesthesia fitness evaluation
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Stay in India
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Surgeon and anesthetist fees
- Operation theatre and laparoscopic equipment charges
- Standard private room stay
- Routine medications during hospital stay
- One follow-up consultation
Usually Not Included
- Pre-procedure diagnostic tests
- Airfare and visa costs
- Accommodation outside hospital
- Any complication management beyond standard package
- Long-term follow-up outside India
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy resume light activities within a week, while open surgery patients require two to three weeks for full recovery; a follow-up visit is scheduled to check wound healing and remove sutures if needed.
Risks
As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, bile duct injury, or reaction to anesthesia, though these are uncommon with experienced surgical teams. Rare complications may require conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery during the procedure.
Alternatives
In select cases of uncomplicated gallstones, dissolution therapy or lifestyle/dietary management may be considered, but these are less effective long-term compared to surgical removal. Endoscopic procedures like ERCP may be used first if stones have migrated to the bile duct.
