Description

Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery camera (cholecystectomy) removes the gallbladder and gallstones through several small incisions in the abdomen. The laparoscopic surgeon inflates your abdomen with air or carbon dioxide in order to see clearly. The surgeon inserts a lighted scope attached to a video camera laparoscope into one incision near the belly button. The surgeon then uses a video monitor as a guide while inserting surgical instruments into the other incisions to remove your gallbladder.
