Minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic)
Small incisions are used to perform the surgery. Most people recover more quickly and may go home the same day.
Robotic-assisted surgery
A minimally invasive approach where the surgeon uses robotic technology to help perform the procedure.
Open surgery
A larger incision may be needed for some patients or more complex cases.
Surgical Approaches
Depending on your condition, your surgeon may recommend one of these approaches:
Gallbladder Removal
Gallbladder removal is a common surgery. The gallbladder stores a digestive fluid called bile. You can live a healthy life without a gallbladder because bile still flows from your liver to your small intestine.
Gallstones are the most common reason this surgery is needed. Gallstones are small, hard pieces that can block the flow of bile and cause pain. If left untreated, they can lead to more serious health problems.
Hernia repair
Hernia repair—also known as herniorrhaphy—is also a common surgical procedure.
A hernia is a weak spot in the wall of the abdomen that allows the organ or tissue beneath it to bulge outward. A hernia might develop as aging muscles get weaker or with some type of strain—such as during sports or lifting heavy objects. A hernia can also form after surgery, and some people have them at birth.
