In my consultation with First Name Last Name, I reviewed the patient's diagnostic workup available to my review, to gain a comprehensive understanding of their gallbladder condition. We focused on the specifics of gallstones (and sludge), discussing their development, prevalence, and progression. I explained the various treatment approaches, weighing the pros and cons of medical management versus surgical intervention, specifically a cholecystectomy.I detailed the surgical options available, including both laparoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted robotic cholecystectomy. It was crucial to clearly communicate the potential perioperative risks associated with these procedures. These risks include bleeding, infection at the surgical site or of the gallbladder itself, accidental damage to nearby structures like the bile duct or liver, the possibility of bile leaking into the abdominal cavity, reactions to anesthesia, blood clot formation, post-operative hernias at the incision site, risks of developing pneumonia, and the chance of leaving stones in the bile ducts.Moving beyond the risks, we discussed what the patient should expect post-surgery, including the recovery process, pain management strategies, and any temporary limitations they might experience. I provided a comprehensive set of post-operative instructions, covering dietary changes and guidelines for physical activity to ensure a smooth recovery.Throughout our conversation, I emphasized the importance of clear, honest communication, creating a space where the patient felt fully informed and comfortable to make an empowered decision about their healthcare. At the end of our discussion, the patient expressed a thorough understanding of all the information provided. They acknowledged and accepted the risks associated with the surgery and expressed a desire to proceed with the plan for a laparoscopic-assisted robotic cholecystectomy. This decision reflected their informed perspective and readiness to move forward with the recommended surgical approach.
