Parts (pen-shaped tubes with a valve) are inserted through small incisions into the abdominal cavity and inflated with carbon dioxide gas to create space between the internal organs and allow viewing and organ manipulation. The video camera, which also includes a built-in light source, is accessed through one of the trocars.

The gallbladder is a tiny sack that rests beneath the liver on the right side of the abdomen. It is roughly the shape and size of a pear.

The common bile ducts (CBD) transport bile from the liver to the small intestine. Gallstones are small pieces of hard crystalline mass formed abnormally in the gallbladder. Cholesterol and pigments in bile can sometimes form hard particles, resulting in these stones.
