GALLBLADDER
SURGERY
A Minimally Invasive Surgical Approach, for a Healthier You!
WHAT IS THE GALLBLADDER?
The gallbladder is an important organ, it is part of the digestive system. It stores the bile that the body uses to break down the food you eat. Bile itself is not produced by the gallbladder, it is produced by the liver and then sent to the gallbladder, to be set aside until needed for digestion. Due to complications, it is sometimes necessary to undergo gallbladder surgery NJ Advanced Surgical Solutions specializes in.
GALLSTONES
Sometimes, the digestive fluids in the gallbladder harden and become like stones. These are called gallstones and they are extremely painful for the person who has them. Obstruction of the bile flow by gallstones in the gallbladder or bile ducts causes abdominal pain, and nausea following meals and can lead to severe infections and inflammation. A successful method of treatment for this condition is to undergo gallbladder surgery.
GALLBLADDER SURGERY
If you are suffering from symptoms associated with a dysfunctional gallbladder, it may need to be removed. Typically, the gallbladder surgery NJ provides can be either the removal of the gallstones from the gallbladder or in more severe cases, the removal of the gallbladder itself, medically known as a cholecystectomy. This laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder involves making four small incisions in the abdomen and then operating on or removing the gallbladder as the case may be.
ROBOTIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY
Robotic cholecystectomy, also known as robotic-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is an advanced surgical technique for removing the gallbladder with enhanced precision. Dr. Prokurat specializes in performing robotic cholecystectomy using the da Vinci® Robotic Surgery. This cutting-edge technology allows for more intricate movements and greater visualization compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery.
During a robotic cholecystectomy, Dr. Prokurat operates the robotic system from a console while viewing a high-definition, 3D image of the surgical site. Small incisions are made in the abdomen, through which robotic instruments are inserted to perform the procedure. The robotic arms mimic the movements of Dr. Prokurat’s hands, offering greater dexterity and control, resulting in less trauma to surrounding tissues and faster recovery for patients.
Dr. Prokurat’s extensive expertise in gallbladder surgery in NJ and his dedication to patient safety and comfort guarantees optimal outcomes for individuals undergoing robotic cholecystectomy.

WHY CHOOSE US FOR YOUR GALLBLADDER SURGERY IN NJ?
- Using the conventional technique
Gallbladder surgery can be done using open surgery by making one large incision on your body. This often exposes the patient to more stress. It may also make your organs vulnerable to infection and injuries.
- Using the Single-Site™ da Vinci® Surgery System
The surgery can also be performed using da Vinci technology, removing your gallbladder through one small incision (cut) in your belly button using Single-Site* technology, or through a few small incisions.
Dr. Prokurat prefers the latter method for gallbladder surgery in NJ because it is:
- Safer and heals faster
- Offers better results
- Ensures no infection
- Gives greater surgical control during surgery
- Produces more aesthetic results
WHEN IS SINGLE-SITE TECHNOLOGY USED?
The da Vinci® Surgery with Single-Site™ Instruments is cleared for use in gallbladder removal, and for hysterectomy and ovary removal for benign conditions.
Patients who are not candidates for non-robotic minimally invasive surgery are not candidates for da Vinci Surgery, including da Vinci Surgery with Single-Site Instruments. There may be an increased risk of incision-site hernia with single-incision surgery, including Single-Site surgery with the da Vinci System.
