Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
some of the advantages of doing a laparoscopic surgery over open technique are faster recovery, less hospital stay and less postoperative pain. you will have very small port incision/s. some institutions/surgeons perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy as an ambulatory case. some surgeons prefer overnight admission, alotting 1 day immediately after surgey for post-operative observation, then for discharge the following day. if you're work is not involved in lifting heavy objects/strenuous activities, you can be back to work as early as the third-fourth day after the surgery. bear in mind, that your physiologic response may be different with others (or case to case basis). less co-morbidities would also mean less chance of having complications during the post-operative course. a short-interval follow-up with your surgeon is also advised.
hope this helps.
good day!!
