What are cholecystectomy clips?

Cholecystectomy clips are small surgical devices used to occlude or seal blood vessels and bile ducts during a cholecystectomy, which is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. These clips help prevent bleeding and bile leakage during and after the procedure. Typically made of materials like titanium or polypropylene, they are designed to remain in the body permanently without causing adverse reactions. Their use enhances surgical safety and efficiency by allowing for precise closure of critical structures.
