Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, commonly known as ‘lap cholecystectomy’, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder. At Marina’s Clinic, we are proud to offer this advanced surgical option, led by our skilled surgeon Dr. Preethi.

Understanding Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is preferred over traditional open surgery due to its less invasive nature. The procedure involves small incisions and the use of a laparoscope – a thin tube with a camera – to guide the surgery. This technique offers a clearer view of the operating area, making it a precise and efficient option.
