Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, also known as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is a surgical procedure performed to remove the gallbladder containing gallstones through small incisions in the abdomen. This technique uses a special instrument called a laparoscope—a thin tube with a camera—that allows the surgeon to view the internal organs clearly on a monitor without making a large incision. Today, this procedure has become the gold standard for treating gallstones due to its higher safety, faster recovery, and lower risk of complications compared to open surgery.
At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is performed by a team of experienced digestive surgeons who have successfully handled numerous complex cases with excellent results. Supported by advanced minimally invasive surgical technology, modern operating rooms, and high safety standards, patients can undergo surgery with greater comfort, faster recovery time, and better aesthetic outcomes.

When Is Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery Needed?
Gallbladder removal surgery is generally required when gallstones cause discomfort or pose health risks. Gallstones are the most common reason for undergoing this procedure. While some people may not experience symptoms, those who do often have recurring and disruptive episodes that interfere with their daily activities.
You may need laparoscopic gallbladder surgery if gallbladder disease:
- Interferes with your daily quality of life
- Poses significant health risks
- Is expected to continue or worsen over time
These conditions are often seen in cases such as:
- Chronic cholecystitis (long-term inflammation of the gallbladder)
- Gallbladder cancer
What Is the Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery Procedure Like?
Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is performed using a minimally invasive technique that requires only a few small incisions in the abdomen. The procedure is typically quick and safe under the supervision of skilled digestive surgeons.
In general, the laparoscopic procedure involves the following steps:
- Making one small incision near the navel and two to three additional incisions in the upper right abdomen.
- Inflating the abdomen with gas to create space and improve visualization of the organs.
- Inserting a laparoscope (a small camera) to display the surgical area on a monitor.
- Using specialized thin surgical tools to remove the gallbladder.
- Releasing the gas from the abdomen and closing the small incisions with sutures.
With this method, patients typically experience less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to conventional open surgery.
