Open Cholecystectomy Surgery

What is Open Cholecystectomy?

Open Cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure in which the gallbladder is removed through a large abdominal incision. It is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Acute or chronic gallbladder inflammation due to gallstones.
• Large or complicated gallstones that cannot be removed laparoscopically.
• Complications such as bile duct obstruction or pancreatitis.
• Medical conditions preventing laparoscopic gallbladder removal.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• A surgical incision is made in the upper abdomen to access the gallbladder.
• The gallbladder is carefully removed, and the bile ducts are secured.
• The patient is monitored post-surgery to ensure proper healing.
• The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and most patients stay in the hospital for a few days before discharge.
