Description
Changjin Nam and co-authors trace the shrinking footprint of gallbladder surgery in a 2024 narrative review. Removing the gallbladder through small cuts is one of the most common abdominal operations. Surgeons keep pushing to make it gentler still, through four main routes that the review compares.
Single-incision surgery cuts scarring but raises bile duct injury and hernia risk. Mini-laparoscopy stays close to the standard method, with small gains and no added harm, making it a sound everyday choice. Surgery through natural openings still faces hard technical limits, though one hybrid route is gaining ground in clinics. Robot help adds precision and dexterity and may shape the future, pending stronger proof of benefit. The authors map where each route stands and what must be solved next.
