Robotic gallbladder surgery may be used for selected patients with symptomatic gallstones, chronic gallbladder inflammation and other gallbladder conditions requiring surgical removal.

During robotic-assisted cholecystectomy, the surgeon controls specialised robotic instruments through small abdominal incisions while viewing the operative field in high-definition 3D. The technology provides precise control during dissection around the gallbladder, bile ducts and surrounding structures. Advanced visualisation technologies available with robotic systems may also assist surgeons in identifying biliary anatomy during selected procedures. The suitability of robotic gallbladder surgery is determined according to the patient's condition and surgical requirements.
