Celioscopic Cholecystectomy is a medical term used to describe a laparoscopic procedure for gallbladder removal. The spelling of the word is based on the Latin and Greek roots of the medical terms. "Celioscopic" derives from the Latin word "coelios" meaning "hollow" or "cavity," and "scopy," derived from the Greek word "skopein" meaning "to observe." "Cholecystectomy" is a combination of "chole," the Greek word for "bile," and "cystectomy," meaning "removal of a cyst." The IPA phonetic transcription for this word is /sɛliəskɑpɪk kɒləsɪs'tɛktəmi/.
Celioscopic cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the gallbladder using a method called laparoscopy. The term "celioscopic" refers to the use of a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses small incisions in the abdomen, while "cholecystectomy" specifically denotes the removal of the gallbladder.
During a celioscopic cholecystectomy, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdominal region, through which specialized surgical instruments and a laparoscope are inserted. A laparoscope is a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it, allowing the surgeon to visualize the internal organs on a monitor. The surgeon carefully manipulates the instruments to locate and detach the gallbladder from its attachments, and then gently removes it through one of the incisions.
This procedure is commonly performed to treat various gallbladder-related conditions, such as gallstones or inflammation (cholecystitis), which can cause severe pain and discomfort. Celioscopic cholecystectomy offers several advantages compared to traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.
It is important to note that celioscopic cholecystectomy should be performed by a trained and experienced surgeon, as it requires precision and skill to safely access and remove the gallbladder using laparoscopic techniques.
The word "celioscopic cholecystectomy" is a compound term consisting of three parts: "celioscopic", "cholecyst", and "ectomy".
1. "Celioscopic" is derived from the term "celioscopy" or "laparoscopy", which refers to a surgical procedure that involves making small incisions in the abdomen to insert a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and other surgical instruments.
