Surgical alternatives may be required to treat some patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common choice for patients as it is less invasive than traditional open removal surgery. The procedure utilizes a laparoscope, a narrow tube equipped with a camera, to maximize view while minimizing incisions. The scope is inserted through one incision, and the gallbladder is removed through another. A total of four small incisions are utilized.
Many patients may also be candidates for mini-cholecystectomy, a popular option for surgeons and patients due to its minimally invasive nature, decreased recovery time, and fewer complications. This procedure involves a single 2-3 inch incision below the right ribs. Not all patients may be eligible for these procedures, so talk with your doctor about all your options and create a plan. Contact Sulphur Surgical Center to schedule an appointment, and get on the road to good health today.
