Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, also known as a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is a minimally invasive procedure we perform to remove the gallbladder. It's typically done using several small incisions instead of one large one, which means you'll likely experience less pain and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.

Before the surgery, Dr. Rajarshi Mitra will conduct a thorough evaluation to make sure you're a good candidate for the procedure. He'll advise you to fast for about eight hours before your surgery time. It's also important to let him know about any medications you're taking, as he might need to adjust them. Dr. Rajarshi Mitra will provide you with all the necessary pre-operative instructions to make sure you're fully prepared.

Most of Dr. Rajarshi Mitra’s patients are pleasantly surprised by the recovery process. Thanks to the minimally invasive nature of the surgery, many are able to go home the same day. However, it's important to take it easy for at least a week. Full recovery typically takes about two weeks, but he'll monitor your progress closely to ensure everything is going smoothly.

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks involved, but they're quite rare. These can include infection, bleeding, or injury to nearby structures. Dr. Rajarshi Mitra uses state-of-the-art techniques and has over 20 years of experience, minimizing these risks to a great extent. Your safety is his top priority, and he'll discuss all potential risks and how we mitigate them before the surgery.
