Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
A minimally invasive procedure to remove the gallbladder, most often to relieve painful gallstones, performed through a few small incisions for a quicker, more comfortable recovery.
A gentler way to treat gallbladder disease
The gallbladder is a small organ that stores bile to help digest fat. When gallstones form, or the gallbladder stops working the way it should, it can cause pain after meals, nausea, and repeated attacks. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy removes the gallbladder to resolve the problem.
Dr. Talbert performs the operation through a few small incisions using a tiny camera and specialized instruments. Compared with traditional open surgery, this minimally invasive approach usually means less pain, smaller scars, and a faster return to everyday life, and many patients are able to go home the same day.
It is commonly recommended for symptomatic gallstones, inflammation of the gallbladder, and biliary dyskinesia. Dr. Talbert reviews your imaging, symptoms, and history before recommending surgery, and explains exactly what to expect.
