Gallbladder surgery, medically known as cholecystectomy, is a common procedure aimed at treating various gallbladder-related issues. There are two primary types: open cholecystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

 Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy:

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common method used today. This minimally invasive procedure involves making several small incisions in the abdomen through which a tiny camera (laparoscope) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon uses these tools to remove the gallbladder, guided by visuals transmitted from the camera onto a monitor. This approach results in smaller scars, less postoperative pain, and a faster recovery compared to open surgery.
