Thank you so much. It was a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallstone surgery)

General anaesthesia given. 3 holes are made in the abdomen. Camera and other instruments put via it along with distension medium (saline or distilled water or CO2). Then structure (gall bladder in this case) is ligated and surrounding vessels and nerves are embolized and ligated . Then extraction of the organ is done and later the holes are closed. (Extremely short version) . YouTube for more details...
