What Is Open Gall Bladder Surgery?

Open gall bladder surgery is a procedure to remove the gall bladder through a larger abdominal incision. It is usually performed when gallstones or inflammation cannot be treated with minimally invasive methods. The surgery helps relieve pain, prevent infections, and restore normal bile flow.

Sterile Gall Bladder Removal – How Open Surgery Is Performed Safely

The procedure starts with general anesthesia and placement of Nivda major abdominal drapes to maintain a sterile field. The surgeon makes an incision below the right rib cage to access the gall bladder using scalpels, retractors, and forceps. The gall bladder is carefully separated from the liver and bile ducts and removed. Nivda reinforced surgical gowns, sterile gloves, and absorbent drapes protect the team from bile and blood. Disposable suction tubing and laparotomy sponges help maintain a clean surgical field. This method ensures safe removal of the gall bladder while minimizing the risk of infection and bile leakage.
