Anatomy of the Gallbladder:

The gallbladder is in the upper right abdomen, just below the liver. The gallbladder is a storehouse of bile, a green-yellow colored digestive juice. Gallbladder stones are the most commonly occurring disorder of the gallbladder.

The incision is filled with a tube that emits a moderate stream of carbon dioxide gas. This isolates the underlying organ from the abdominal walls. The surgeon then uses the tiny camera linked to the laparoscope to observe the gallbladder on a monitor after it has been detached.
During the procedure, specialized x-rays called cholangiograms are performed to look for gallstones lodged in the bile ducts. The gallbladder’s ducts and arteries are then permanently snipped off. The gallbladder is then removed, or if only the stones can be removed, they are. the bile duct or the
