Robotic Minimally Invasive Gallbladder Surgery

Less Invasive, Faster Recovery

A minimally invasive approach to gallbladder removal using robotic techniques for reduced pain, faster healing, and same-day discharge.

If you’ve been told you need gallbladder surgery, it’s normal to have questions or even some hesitation. At Suede Surgical, we understand that comfort, trust, and recovery time matter just as much as results.

That’s why Dr. Suede and our team use robotic cholecystectomy, a modern, minimally invasive technique that removes the gallbladder through just a few small incisions.

Compared to traditional open surgery, patients experience less pain, fewer complications, and a much faster recovery.

Most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities within just a few days.

Schedule your consultation today to see if robotic surgery is right for you.
