Cholecystotomy

Cholecystotomy is a surgical operation to dissect the wall of the gallbladder. It is performed to remove stones from the gallbladder or to treat other diseases that may cause inflammation.

Cholecystotomy can be performed either open or laparoscopically. With the open method, an incision is made in the abdomen, and then the surgeon removes stones or other formations from the gallbladder. Laparoscopic cholecystotomy involves inserting a special tube into the abdomen with a camera at the end, through which the surgeon can see the gallbladder and remove stones or other formations.

After cholecystotomy, some complications may occur, such as bleeding, infection, or damage to other organs. However, if the operation is performed correctly and all doctor’s recommendations are followed, the risk of complications is minimal.

Cholecystectomy is a surgical technique that is aimed at removing the gallbladder. It is located behind the right diaphragm and consists of muscles and the liver. The gallbladder is a small organ that performs the function of accumulating, storing and releasing bile into the intestines. Bile is produced by the liver and plays an important role in digestion.

When there is a need for surgery on the gallbladder, resection is performed, that is, partial amputation of the gallbladder - cholecystectomy, the purpose of which is to cleanse the upper part of the duodenum from bile clots accumulating in it. During cholecystostomy, the doctor places a drainage from the gallbladder into the abdominal cavity around the surgical site, which will remove accumulated fluid and remnants of the removed part of the bladder for a more precise and clear suture.

Cholecystitotomy is performed under general anesthesia; the operation can last a long time and requires a specially qualified surgeon. The operation is performed in cases where stones in the gall bladder have caused an exacerbation of chronic cholecystitis (an acute form of inflammation of the gall bladder), accompanied by biliary colic. The patient is in the hospital for ten days, after which he recovers from the illness for another two weeks.

Cholecystitomy is a surgical method used to treat gallbladder diseases. It involves removing stones and treating inflammation of the gallbladder wall, or ulcers on its walls. The procedure is usually performed through a small incision in the abdominal wall rather than through the skin.

Although cholecystotomy has many years of practice, a few years ago, experts began using a new technique called percutaneous cholecystotomy. This method is less invasive and less painful than the traditional approach. Additionally, it allows the doctor to see gallstones with the naked eye, which improves the chances of successfully removing the stones.

Percutaneous cholecystotomy has a number of advantages. For example, it is much safer than a conventional cholecystectomy, which is performed inside the patient's body. In addition, the risk of complications such as bleeding and infection is significantly reduced thanks to the use of modern equipment and the best surgical techniques. In general, percutaneous cholestitomy is a more gentle and effective method of treating biliary diseases than traditional cholecystectomy.
