Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy With Mishra Knot

This video shows a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the surgeon makes four small incisions in abdomen. A tube with a tiny video camera is inserted into abdomen through one of the incisions. Surgeon watches a video monitor in the operating room while using surgical tools inserted through the other incisions in abdomen to remove gallbladder.

A laparoscopic cholecystectomy isn't appropriate for everyone. In some cases surgeon may begin with a laparoscopic approach and find it necessary to make a larger incision because of scar tissue from previous operations or complications.
