Abstract

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has transformed the landscape of surgical care, offering reduced tissue trauma, faster recovery, and fewer complications compared to traditional open surgeries. This case study explores the use of laparoscopic surgery in the removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) in a 45-year-old female patient suffering from recurrent biliary colic due to gallstones. The procedure involved four small incisions, through which a camera and specialized instruments were used to visualize and remove the gallbladder. The patient experienced minimal postoperative pain, a brief hospital stay, and a rapid return to daily activities. This case demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, highlighting the broader advantages of minimally invasive techniques in improving patient outcomes and overall surgical efficiency.
