Seeking a Reputable Professional for Gallbladder Surgery Near Murrieta, CA?
Gallbladder
The gallbladder is a small organ that stores bile produced by the liver. After a meal, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine, helping with food digestion. Gallbladders can become symptomatic once a gallbladder becomes inflamed or gallstones form, causing symptoms such as nausea, bloating or abdominal pain.
The gallbladder can be removed by an open surgery with a large incision or by a minimally invasive approach through 4 small incisions. The minimally invasive approach uses a laparoscope (camera) and multiple small instruments to complete the procedure.
Dr. Moore offers the latest technology to perform a Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery with Firefly technology. A high definition 3-D camera provides the view inside a patient’s body. The daVinci system translates Dr. Moore’s movements precisely to the instruments to remove the gallbladder. The Firefly technology provides real-time data regarding the anatomy.
Patients generally go home the same day of surgery and usually are off of pain medications in a few days.
