Body Mass Index (BMI): A Quick Calculator
If your BMI is 30 – 39.9, you are considered to be obese; 40 – 49.9 is morbidly obese, and 50+ is super obese. BMI can be useful in helping you understand whether you are in a healthy weight range. But it’s only part of the equation. Your initial consultation with Dr Ma includes a thorough medical examination, full medical history and questions about your current lifestyle and weight management history.
Gallbladder Surgery
Gallbladder Surgery / Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed to remove the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile, which helps digest fats.
This surgery is commonly recommended for patients experiencing:
Gallstones
Gallbladder inflammation or infection
Gallbladder pain (biliary colic)
Gallstone pancreatitis
Other gallbladder-related conditions
The procedure is performed using several small incisions in the abdomen. A camera and specialised surgical instruments are inserted to allow the surgeon to safely remove the gallbladder. Most patients experience less pain, smaller scars and a quicker recovery compared with traditional open surgery.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope (a thin camera) and surgical instruments to remove the gallbladder safely. The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic.
