Laparoscopic cholecystectomy removes the gallbladder using small incisions and a camera-guided technique, treating gallstones and related complications. This minimally invasive approach offers faster recovery, less pain, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery, and is one of the most commonly performed general surgery procedures.
Gallbladder removal is recommended when gallstones cause recurrent pain, inflammation, or complications such as blocked bile ducts or infection, particularly when symptoms persist or worsen over time.
