Cholecystectomy Overview
Cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, a small organ located under the liver that stores bile. This operation is typically performed to treat gallstones and other gallbladder-related conditions. At MedGlobal Solutions, we offer state-of-the-art cholecystectomy procedures performed by experienced surgeons using advanced techniques.
Types of Cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: This minimally invasive procedure involves making small incisions in the abdomen. It's the most common type of cholecystectomy, offering faster recovery and less scarring.
Open Cholecystectomy: In some cases, a traditional open surgery may be necessary. This involves a larger incision and is typically used for more complex cases.
Robotic-Assisted Cholecystectomy: Using cutting-edge robotic technology, this method offers enhanced precision and control during the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Typically, patients stay for 7-10 days, including pre-operative consultations and post-operative recovery.
Most patients can return to a normal diet after recovery, but some may need to make minor adjustments to prevent digestive discomfort.
We recommend waiting at least 5-7 days after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy before flying home. For open surgery, a longer recovery period may be necessary.
Most people don’t experience significant long-term effects. Your liver will continue to produce bile, which will flow directly into the small intestine.
