Open Gallbladder Surgery

What is Open Gallbladder Surgery?

Open cholecystectomy is the traditional method of removing the gallbladder through a single larger incision, usually just below the right rib cage.
It’s performed when laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery isn’t possible or safe—due to complications like infection, prior surgeries, or unclear anatomy.

When is It Done?

Gallstones causing pain, infection (cholecystitis), or pancreatitis
Blocked bile duct
Large or multiple gallstones
Previous abdominal surgeries or adhesions
Failed or unsafe for laparoscopic surgery
Emergency cases (ruptured gallbladder, severe infection)

What the Procedure Involves

A single incision (~4–6 inches) made in the upper right abdomen
Gallbladder carefully separated from liver and ducts
Bile duct checked and cleared if needed
Gallbladder removed
Drain may be placed if infection was present
Incision closed with sutures or staples

Benefits of Open Surgery

✅

Allows better visibility and access in complex or emergency cases
Ensures safe removal in patients with severe infections, adhesions, or complications

Extremely professional and caring. He took the time to explain every step of my father’s hernia surgery, so like humein bilkul bhi doubt ya darr feel nahi hua. We knew we were in safe hands.

I had been facing discomfort for quite some time, but I kept delaying treatment. Dr. Davinder’s laser procedure was quick, painless, and the recovery was much easier than expected. I truly appreciate his skill and guidance.
