Gallstones can develop in people of all ages. A slower and lesser functional gall bladder suggests formation of stones. People who are already overweight and those who have lost weight drastically without any proper reason are suspected to be suffering from gallbladder stones. Cholesterol patients are likelier to be having gallstones; all thanks to their high-fat and unhealthy dietary habits.

The stones to be treated need to be removed by way of bladder removal. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a technique developed by medical experts for removal of stones through the removal of gallbladder. This gallbladder removal method is gaining acceptance because of its efficiency to treat the stones and also inflammation. Also, this method erases possibility of infections and so is preferred by doctors all over the world.

A general anesthesia is given to the patient before commencing procedure. Thereafter, 4 small incisions are drilled in the abdominal cavity for inserting instruments and a video camera for surgery. The camera provides detailed images of the inner lining of the stomach and gallbladder on a monitor. The gallbladder is removed and the incisions stitched up.

The laparoscopic cholecystectomy is an outpatient procedure, with the patient allowed to go home the same day. However, prior arrangements for getting someone to take you back are required.
