Gallbladder Stones Surgery

Introduction:

Gallbladder stones Surgery or a Cholecystectomy is the surgical process that involves the removal of the gallbladder, which is a small organ that stores extra bile in the body. This surgery only takes place if the gallbladder starts to form stones. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is performed using a small camera that is inserted into the stomach asn assists in removing the stones. Whereas an open cholecystectomy involves making a large surgical cut and removing the entire gallbladder

What is a Gallbladder Stone?

These stones are hardened bile formations in the gallbladder that resemble pebbles. The stones are made up of cholesterol most of the time and sizes can range from a dust speck to a small egg. Gallstones can be found as one big stone or as hundreds of dust-sized stones in your gall bladder. They can even block your body's bile ducts and can lead to severe abdomen pain. However, if your stones are small in size and quantity, they do not possess any harm. They do not require Gallbladder Stone Surgery in Dubai and are known as silent gallstones.

Types:

Gallstones are of two types

1)    Cholesterol:

These stones are formed due to the excess amount of cholesterol in the blood stream. They are yellowish green and are the cause of around 75% of gallstone formations.

2)    Pigment:

These gallstones are very dark as compared to cholesterol gallstones and they are made up of hardened bilirubin. It is a possibility that some individuals might suffer from both kinds of stones

How is GallStone Surgery performed?

There are two options for getting surgery and the surgeon will recommend the best option depending on your situation. These Treatment options are discussed below:

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

●     This option involves making 4 tiny incisions on your stomach region.

●     The surgeon will then insert a very thin camera tube inside through one of the openings

●      He will examine your gallbladder on the computer screen to see where they are

●     Using surgical tools, he will carefully extract the gallbladder. 

●     Next, he will perform an X-Ray to find any stray gallstones in the bile duct

●     Your incisions will be sutured and bandages will be applied.

The procedure only lasts 1 hour and you will be allowed to go home the same day. In some cases, if the surgeon sees that the gallstones are too big, he will opt to make bigger incisions.

Open cholecystectomy

●     This Treatment option follows the steps of traditional surgery.

●     The surgeon will make a large incision of almost 6 inches on the side of your abdomen

●     After the incision is made, the muscles are kept pulled apart using forceps.

●     This helps the surgeon see the gallbladder better.

●     He will extract the gallbladder with the help of sharp surgical tools.

●     The operation site is closed with stitches and you will be bandaged.

This option usually takes around 2 hours to perform and you will be asked to stay 2 to 3 days in the clinic. You can go home on the 4th day.
