Best Robotic Gallbladder Surgeon in Shalimar Bagh – Dr. K. K. Trehan
The gallbladder is a small organ beneath the liver that stores bile to help digest fats. When needed, it releases bile into the intestine. Although important, a person can live without it. Dr. K. K. Trehan performs safe gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) in cases like gallstones or infection.
Gallbladder problems such as infection, inflammation, or stones can cause pain, vomiting, acidity, fever, or jaundice. In such cases, surgery may be required. Dr. K. K. Trehan provides advanced, minimally invasive treatments to manage these conditions effectively.
Gallbladder surgery can be done through open or minimally invasive methods. With modern technology, robotic surgery is now available, offering higher precision, faster recovery, and better outcomes compared to traditional techniques.

Types of Gallbladder Removal Surgery
- Open Gallbladder Removal Surgery - Open gallbladder removal surgery has been traditionally followed for ages for gallbladder removal. The method involves an incision about 4 to 5 inches near the abdomen. Then, the surgeon removes the gallbladder carefully and wraps up the surgery by stitching the incision. The operated patient takes a few days to recover and buy the time needed to stay in the hospital under observation. After the surgery, the patient may also experience high blood loss, incision marks, and weakness.
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - The procedure is known as minimally invasive surgery in layman's language. The procedure involves making a small incision to insert a laparoscope with the camera and lights at the top for a better view of the surgical site. After reaching the gallbladder, another incision is made to remove the organ. The organ is removed carefully to avoid damaging the nearby tissues.
- Robotic Surgery - Surgery for removing the gallbladder with the help of robotic arms is known as robotic gallbladder surgery. The surgery is performed using a robot and the components performing the surgery. The arms of the robot are controlled by an open console operated by a surgeon. The console displays a 3D view of the patient's insides, making it clearer for the surgeon to understand the surgical area. The robotic arms make incisions near the surgical area and then insert the components through the incision with the required surgical tools and camera to display the surgical site on the console.
In traditional surgery, a surgeon may find it difficult to access certain narrow or hard-to-reach areas, but robotic arms make this possible with ease. These advanced instruments can even rotate 360 degrees, offering precision and flexibility beyond human capability. This level of control and accuracy makes robot-assisted gallbladder removal a preferred choice for many surgeons. Dr. K. K. Trehan, an experienced GI and robotic surgeon, performs minimally invasive gallbladder surgeries using advanced robotic systems, ensuring greater precision, faster recovery, and excellent outcomes for his patients.
