Cholecystectomy (gallbladder surgery)
A cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, a small pear-shaped organ that sits under the liver. It collects and stores bile, a digestive fluid produced in the liver. Your doctor may require gallbladder removal if gallstones cause severe pain and other complications.
Why You Might Need a Cholecystectomy?
Gallbladder surgery is required if you have:
- Inflamed gallbladder
- Pancreas inflammation caused by gallstones
- Gallstones in the gallbladder
- Gallstones in the bile duct
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
A laparascopic cholecystectomy is a technique that uses four small incisions in your abdomen to remove your gallbladder. A laparascope, a narrow tube with a camera is inserted into your abdomen through one of the incisions to allow your surgeon to see your gallbladder on a screen. Then your surgeon will remove your gallbladder through another incision. Patients go home the same day as their surgery. This minimally-invasive procedure allows the patient to recover quicker and have less scarring after the surgery.
Hemorrhoid Surgery
Hemorrhoids form when the veins in your lower rectum and anus become swollen and distended. They may be caused by strained bowel movements, pregnancy, and obesity. Hemorrhoid surgery is considered if the hemorrhoid causes severe pain or does not go away on its own.
Types of Hemorrhoids
There are two types of hemorrhoids:
- Internal: hemorrhoids form in the lower rectum
- External: hemorrhoids form around the anus
