Robotic Gallstone surgery in Delhi – Dr. Arun Bhardwaj
Robotic gallstone surgery is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedure used to remove gallstones—hardened deposits of digestive fluid that form in the gallbladder. These stones can lead to severe abdominal pain, infections, and blockages in the bile ducts if left untreated.
Under the expert care of Dr. Arun Bhardwaj, this advanced technique is performed using a robotic surgical system, which allows for greater precision, enhanced visualization, and improved dexterity. Compared to traditional open surgery, robotic-assisted surgery typically involves smaller incisions, less pain, reduced risk of complications, and a faster recovery time.
Dr. Bhardwaj's expertise in robotic procedures ensures patients receive safe, effective treatment with the latest in surgical innovation.
Types of Robotic Gallstone Surgery
Robotic Cholecystectomy
The most common treatment for gallstones is a robotic cholecystectomy, where the entire gallbladder is removed. This is often recommended if gallstones cause recurrent pain, inflammation, or infection.
Robotic vs. Laparoscopic: The robotic technique enhances the laparoscopic procedure by providing the surgeon with better control and a high-definition, 3D view of the operative field.
Robotic Choledocholithotomy
This procedure involves the removal of stones from the common bile duct while preserving the gallbladder. It is performed when stones are blocking the bile duct.
Surgeons use robotic instruments to precisely remove stones without damaging surrounding tissues.
Surgery Management
Pre-surgery Preparations
- Diagnosis: The patient undergoes an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI to confirm the presence and size of gallstones.
- Blood tests: To check for signs of infection or inflammation.
- Fasting: The patient is required to fast for several hours before the surgery.
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia is used during the procedure.
Procedure
- Small incisions are made in the abdomen.
- The robotic system’s arms are inserted through these incisions.
- The surgeon sits at a console, controlling the robotic arms with precision.
- The gallbladder or gallstones are carefully removed, and the bile ducts are checked for any blockages.
- The incisions are closed, and the patient is transferred to recovery.
Post- surgery care
- Hospital stay is typically short, usually 1-2 days.
- Recovery: Patients experience less pain and faster recovery due to the smaller incisions and minimal trauma.
- Diet: Patients start with a liquid diet and gradually transition to solid foods.
- Follow-up: Patients are advised to attend follow-up appointments to monitor recovery and ensure there are no complications like infection or bile leakage.
