How Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) is performed
Under general anesthesia, pneumoperitoneum is often established through a multi-port approach and trocars are inserted. After dissecting and exposing key anatomy, the cystic duct and artery are usually clipped and cut, the gallbladder is dissected along the gallbladder bed, bagged, and removed. Intraoperative cholangiography or hemostasis is performed if necessary. Postoperative monitoring includes pain and drainage volume, with gradual resumption of diet and activity. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information should be based on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
