Cholecystectomy abroad is performed using a minimally invasive laparoscopic method, which reduces intraoperative risks and side effects with optimal treatment results.
Indications and specifics of cholecystectomy abroad
Cholecystectomy is prescribed for the following pathologies:
- Acute cholecystitis
- Chronic recurrent cholecystitis
- Cholelithiasis
- Purulent empyema
- Benign and malignant neoplasms of the gallbladder
Classical cholecystectomy is an open abdominal operation involving an incision into the abdominal cavity and organ extraction. Such an intervention is rarely used in foreign clinics, mainly in cases of extensive lesions and severe complications of the underlying disease, when minimally invasive procedures are impractical and ineffective.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a method of performing surgery through multiple punctures.
It runs according to this algorithm:
- Provision of general anesthesia
- Injection of inert sterile gas into the abdominal cavity
- Applying 2-4 incisions no more than 4-7 cm long to the front wall of the abdominal cavity
- Introduction to formed incisions of surgical instruments, lighting and optics
- Gentle gall bladder resection with maximum preservation of healthy tissues
- Clipping and crossing of cystic vessels and ducts
- Evacuation of resected structures from the abdominal cavity
- Suturing and drainage of wounds
- If there are "technical" possibilities, foreign doctors prefer to use the SILS method, which forms the only access in the navel area. This operation allows you to achieve an ideal cosmetic effect – there are no traces of surgical intervention on the patient's body. In addition, it provides a quick and painless recovery.
Advantages of the operation
The advantages of cholecystectomy abroad are obvious:
- Long experience of practicing doctors
- Availability of the most modern tactics of the operation
- The use of robotic systems to control medical manipulations
- The use of the most modern equipment and tools during the operation
- Accelerated and comfortable rehabilitation
- Optimal conditions of stay
- Round-the-clock support for secondary and junior medical staff
- Support until discharge
Upon discharge, the doctor will give you useful recommendations on nutrition and lifestyle correction, taking supportive medications and preventing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in the future.
