www.nucleusinc.com This 3D medical animation shows minimally invasive gallbladder surgery, or cholecystectomy, using a laparoscope to remove gallstones. The animation begins by showing the normal anatomy of the liver and gallbladder. Over time, gallstones form within the gallbladder, blocking the cystic duct, and causing the gallbladder to become enlarged and inflamed. The procedure, sometimes called a “lap-chole”, begins with the insertion of four trocar devices, which allow the physician to see inside the abdomen without making a large incision. Air is added to the abdominal cavity to make it easier to see the gall bladder. Next, we see a view through the laparascope, showing two surgical instruments grasping the gallbladder while a third severs the cystic duct. After the gallbladder is removed, the camera pans around to show that the cystic artery and vein, have already been clipped to prevent bleeding. ANCE00181

I’m considering surgery. I’ve already had 3 painful gallbladder attacks and don’t think I can take any more. I’m on medication, but I don’t like the Urso pills. Gave me lots of diharrea and naseau. I’m only 13, according to my dr, his youngest patient. Wish me luck!
I had surgery the 16th.
It is extremely painful, very hard to breathe.
afterwards she’s going to be in some pain. My drs gave me perks it just makes me sleep it does not get rid of the pain. I wish your friend so much luck and I will pery for her because i know it hurts.

Please listen to me when I say this.
I had extreme pain for a month, dr told me the pain was like giving birth it was so painful.
I am 18 years old.
ADVICE TO EASE PAIN: get a quarter cup of apple cider viniger (I know it sounds gross but when I drank this my pain completely stopped so please try it)
and a 8 ounce glass of apple juice and drink it mix the two please. I know it taste horrable but i am walking proof it helps make the pain go away within 10 minutes.
The pain after surgery sucks.
It hurts to move.
I hope I heal fast like others.
I remember after the operation I was trashing and fighting the nurses cause i couldn’t breathe.
It sucks it really does.
great video, i am going to see a surgeon about my gallbladder next week. the ultrasound tech & the other doctors all seemed very concerned & said it looked bad. but i guess not bad enough to go in emergently. the pain is intense when it comes. hope it goes well.
My best friend has to have this done, but the doctors and surgens are saying that she is too young. She’ll be 15 next month. I hate seeing her go through pain like she does. Do you have any suggestions on what I could tell her to do to help ease her pain if anything is possible? Also, I’m worried about her to have this done when the time comes. What are the risks? What will happen?
I’m getting mine tomorrow and i’m only 18 V.V

after removing the bladdar where the urine will get stored
Im 15 and i just had my gallbladder removed laparoscopically. I had intense pains for 7 months and the doctors thought i was constipated. Finally i had another pain, and these would usually last 10-12 hrs but it didn’t go away after 2 days. I was rushed to the hospital and they did tests and found stones and took it out. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days and the surgeon said it was the worst gallbladder she had ever seen in her career, which was weird cuz im so young. No pain since!!
my mom hade to have this kind of thing because the gallstones were in her bile duct [she was vomiting to] and so she left after the operation after recovering and she stayed at my dads house for 1 night and felt a little better the next day.
My mother had this surgery a few weeks after I was born. Its nice to see what went along.
Nice job on the video looks good. When you have time come visit my channel!

I like the video. I had this surgery almost 7 days ago. Still sore but doing better than the 3 attacks that led to get this surgery. At last Im free……
