Advantages of laparoscopic cholecystectomy

  In the adult patient population, the incidence of cholelithiasis ranges from 4% to 10%. Traditional cesarean cholecystectomy has been a problem for doctors and patients due to painful postoperative wounds, unsightly scars, long hospital stays and slow postoperative recovery. In recent years, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been developed and rapidly accepted by surgeons and patients. This procedure is a more cost-effective and safe way to treat gallbladder stone disease because of its minimal postoperative pain, aesthetic appearance, short hospital stay, and rapid recovery of patients.  So, what kind of treatment is laparoscopic cholecystectomy and what are the symptoms it is suitable for? This is described in detail. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed by inserting a special catheter into the peritoneal cavity, injecting about 2 to 5 liters of carbon dioxide, and then opening 3 to 4 small holes of 0.5 to 1 cm in the abdomen after reaching a certain pressure, and then carefully removing the gallbladder under laparoscopic operation. The procedure takes about 30 minutes to one and a half hours and is simple and safe.  The indications for laparoscopic cholecystectomy are expanding, with the main indications being different types of gallbladder stones with obvious clinical symptoms, gallbladder polyp-like lesions, and asymptomatic simple gallbladder stones. In addition, patients with diabetes combined with gallbladder stones should be treated with surgery as soon as clinical symptoms appear; the incidence of gallbladder stones in cirrhotic portal hypertension is 4-5 times higher than normal people, although cirrhotic patients are not a contraindication to LC, but it is a difficult LC surgery because of the rich blood vessels around the gallbladder and gallbladder triangle in portal hypertension, which are prone to bleeding and adhesions.  Experts here remind that patients with acute obstructive purulent cholangitis, acute necrotizing pancreatitis, chronic gallbladder stone disease with severe intra-abdominal infection, patients with severe high-risk gallbladder stones, patients with gallbladder stones and cardiac insufficiency, and those with severe chronic lung disease should be treated with caution. In addition, patients with severe liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and a history of previous major upper abdominal surgery should not undergo this treatment.  Experts point out that the surgical treatment of gallstones can achieve a 99.99% success rate whether laparoscopic surgery or traditional caesarean section, and only about 1 in 10,000 patients die due to poor health conditions before surgery (e.g., acute cholecystitis, sepsis, etc.) or complications after surgery, such as pneumonia, heart attack, stroke attack, etc.  Experts recommend that after surgery there may be a brief feeling of nausea or vomiting due to the effect of anesthetics, which can be treated with targeted medication under the guidance of a doctor. Eight hours after surgery, if there is no vomiting, you can drink 30-50cc of water first. If the medical staff does not inform you of special restrictions, you can eat liquid food such as rice milk and porridge the next day, but avoid whole milk. Most of the surgical wound pain is not serious, if you cannot relieve the pain, you can inject painkillers. Wounds usually do not require dressing changes, but if there is any abnormal bleeding and oozing, inform the nursing staff promptly.
