Surgery Squad: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder Removal)

概要

Having a gallbladder attach is a painful experience for anyone. The gallbladder is a small organ in the body that stores bile which is created by the liver. While the body is digesting fats, the gallbladder sends bile through the common bile duct into the small intestine where it aids in digestion. Occasionally the bile can harden into pieces, called gallstones, which can block the bile duct. In these cases, a patient will likely have pain, nausea, and/or vomiting. During this interactive procedure, you will learn what you need to know about laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, known to doctors as a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, and carry out a laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
