What is a Cholecystectomy?
A cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, a small organ located under the liver. The gallbladder’s primary function is to store bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. Although the gallbladder aids in digestion, it’s not essential for a healthy digestive system. Hence, its removal is often necessary when gallstones or other complications arise.
The Procedure
Dr. Garcia typically performs a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive technique involving small incisions. This method allows for quicker recovery, less post-operative pain, and minimal scarring.
During the procedure, a tiny camera and surgical instruments are used to remove the gallbladder safely and efficiently.
Post-Operative Care
Recovery from a cholecystectomy is generally swift, with many patients returning home the same day. Dr. Garcia and his dedicated team provide comprehensive post-operative care, including detailed instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure a smooth recovery.
