Types of Gallbladder Surgery Available

1. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Keyhole Surgery)

Procedure Steps:

General anesthesia administration
Four small incisions (5-12mm) made in abdomen
Laparoscope (camera) inserted for visualization
Carbon dioxide gas inflated to create working space
Gallbladder carefully dissected and removed through small incision
Incisions closed with absorbable sutures

2. Robotic Gallbladder Surgery (da Vinci System)

Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar is da Vinci certified and offers advanced robotic surgery for complex gallbladder cases. The robotic system provides enhanced precision, 3D visualization, and improved dexterity for challenging anatomical situations.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery:

Enhanced surgical precision with tremor elimination
Superior 3D high-definition visualization
Improved outcomes in complex cases with adhesions
Reduced conversion to open surgery rates
Faster recovery compared to traditional approaches

3. Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)

For suitable candidates, Dr. Bhavsar offers single-incision gallbladder removal through the umbilicus, resulting in virtually scarless surgery.
