Do you have stapleor stincth with gallbladder surgery?

The surgical approach for gallbladder removal, known as a cholecystectomy, can involve either an open procedure or a laparoscopic procedure. Regardless of the approach, staples or stitches are typically used to close the incisions made during the surgery.

1. Open Cholecystectomy:

- If an open cholecystectomy is performed, a larger incision is made in the abdomen, allowing direct visualization and access to the gallbladder. In this case, the surgeon may use staples to close the surgical wound. Staples provide a quick and secure method of closure and help reduce bleeding.

2. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy:

- In a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the surgeon operates through several small incisions in the abdomen. The surgeon inserts a camera and specialized instruments through these small incisions to remove the gallbladder.

- After removing the gallbladder, the surgeon typically closes the incisions using stitches or sutures. Stitches allow for precise closure of the incisions and help minimize scarring.

The choice between staples and stitches for wound closure during gallbladder surgery may vary depending on the preference and expertise of the surgeon, as well as the specific circumstances and patient factors. both staples and stitches are commonly used and have their own advantages in different situations.
