Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic gallbladder removal in Lviv is one of the most modern and safest operations. Another name for the operation is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This method of surgical treatment is performed with a laparoscope through small incisions in the anterior abdominal wall under the control of a miniature camera. The procedure is popular due to its minimal trauma and the absence of large scars on the abdominal wall. At the Korona Medical Center, this operation is performed by experienced doctors using modern equipment.

What Is Cholecystectomy and When Should It Be Performed?

The gallbladder is an organ responsible for storing and excreting bile, which is necessary for the digestion of fats. However, sometimes due to the formation of stones or other pathologies, the gallbladder ceases to perform its function properly, which leads to digestive disorders, pain, inflammatory processes, and other serious complications.

If medical treatment of gallbladder disease is ineffective, it must be removed by open surgery or laparoscopy.

The main indications for laparoscopic cholecystectomy

• Cholelithiasis (the presence of stones in the gallbladder)
• Acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder)
• Chronic cholecystitis
• Gallbladder tumors

Laparoscopic Removal of the Gallbladder in Lviv at the Korona Clinic

Do you need laparoscopy of the gallbladder in Lviv at a reasonable price? We perform such an intervention for cholecystitis with the presence of stones, tumors, and other pathologies.

The operation has the following stages

1. Preparation: Before the operation, a detailed diagnosis is performed to determine the condition of the body and the complexity of the upcoming operation. The patient is prescribed a general blood test, biochemical analysis, ultrasound of the abdominal organs, coagulogram, and other examinations.
2. Operation: It is performed under general anesthesia. After anesthesia is administered, several small punctures (incisions) are made in the upper abdomen. Through these incisions, special surgical instruments and a video camera are inserted into the abdominal cavity, which allows monitoring of the operation. The gallbladder is separated from the surrounding tissues and removed through one of the incisions.
3. Postoperative Period: After the operation, the patient is under the supervision of doctors in the hospital for 24–48 hours. After discharge, the patient must follow the recommendations for nutrition and physical activity.

FAQ

What is a cholecystectomy and when is it performed?

Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. It is most commonly performed to treat gallstone disease, especially when gallstones cause pain, inflammation, biliary colic, or other complications. Another indication for cholecystectomy is chronic cholecystitis, particularly when gallstones are present or when there is a risk of obstruction of the bile ducts.

Is it possible to live without a gallbladder?

Yes, you can. The gallbladder is a reservoir for bile, and after its removal, bile continuously flows from the liver to the intestines. This requires small changes in diet, but the operation usually does not affect quality of life in the long term.

What are the methods of cholecystectomy?

• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A minimally invasive operation through small punctures, after which recovery is faster.
• Open surgery: Performed through an incision in the abdomen, used less often (for example, in case of complications).

What is the recovery period after surgery?

• After laparoscopy, patients are usually discharged after 1–3 days.
• Full rehabilitation after surgery takes 2–4 weeks.
• After open surgery, recovery takes longer — up to 6–8 weeks.
