How is the laparoscopic operation done?
During a laparoscopic gall bladder operation, the surgeon grasps the gall bladder from one instrument and with other instrument he frees its duct and artery. These are then clipped or tied off and the gall bladder removed from the liver bed. After ensuring that there is no bleeding or injury, the gall bladder including the stones is removed with one of the cannulas. The skin is closed with absorbable sutures. Patient should be able to go home in 12-24 hours after surgery.
