Robotic Gallbladder Surgery in Dwarka West Delhi – Dr. Arun Bhardwaj
The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver. Its primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. When fatty foods are consumed, the gallbladder contracts, releasing bile into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats. The gallbladder's ability to store and release bile at the right time plays a vital role in efficient digestion and overall digestive health. However, it is possible to live without a gallbladder. Dr. Arun Bhardwaj, an expert in gastrointestinal and robotic surgery, performs safe and effective gallbladder removal procedures (cholecystectomy) when necessary—typically in cases involving gallstones, infections, or other gallbladder disorders.
The gallbladder can be affected by various conditions such as infection, inflammation, or gallstones. These issues may cause symptoms like pain in the right side of the abdomen, vomiting, acid reflux, fever, or even jaundice. In such cases, gallbladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy) may be necessary. Dr. Arun Bhardwaj, a specialist in gastrointestinal and robotic surgery, offers advanced and minimally invasive treatment options to safely manage gallbladder-related disorders and relieve symptoms effectively.
Traditionally, the surgery can be performed in open gallbladder removal method and minimally invasive gallbladder removal surgery. Today, advanced technology and progress in medical science have also created an option for The robotic arms perform the surgery, unlike the traditional surgery where a surgeon makes the incisions and performs the surgical procedure. The surgery has a high success rate and is highly followed by surgeons for greater precision, less hassle, and perfect results.

Types of Gallbladder Removal Surgery
- Open Gallbladder Removal Surgery - Open gallbladder removal surgery has been traditionally followed for ages for gallbladder removal. The method involves an incision about 4 to 5 inches near the abdomen. Then, the surgeon removes the gallbladder carefully and wraps up the surgery by stitching the incision. The operated patient takes a few days to recover and buy the time needed to stay in the hospital under observation. After the surgery, the patient may also experience high blood loss, incision marks, and weakness.
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - The procedure is known as minimally invasive surgery in layman's language. The procedure involves making a small incision to insert a laparoscope with the camera and lights at the top for a better view of the surgical site. After reaching the gallbladder, another incision is made to remove the organ. The organ is removed carefully to avoid damaging the nearby tissues.
- Robotic Surgery - Surgery for removing the gallbladder with the help of robotic arms is known as robotic gallbladder surgery. The surgery is performed using a robot and the components performing the surgery. The arms of the robot are controlled by an open console operated by a surgeon. The console displays a 3D view of the patient's insides, making it clearer for the surgeon to understand the surgical area. The robotic arms make incisions near the surgical area and then insert the components through the incision with the required surgical tools and camera to display the surgical site on the console.
In traditional surgery, a surgeon may find it difficult to access certain narrow or hard-to-reach areas, but robotic arms make this possible with ease. These advanced instruments can even rotate 360 degrees, offering precision and flexibility beyond human capability. This level of control and accuracy makes robot-assisted gallbladder removal a preferred choice for many surgeons. Dr. Arun Bhardwaj, an experienced GI and robotic surgeon, performs minimally invasive gallbladder surgeries using advanced robotic systems, ensuring greater precision, faster recovery, and excellent outcomes for his patients.
