Gallbladder Surgery

Gallbladder surgery, often called cholecystectomy, is a procedure to remove the gallbladder, a small organ that stores bile, which helps digest fats. This surgery is typically performed when patients have gallstones, which can cause pain or inflammation. It can be done through minimally invasive techniques, using small incisions and a camera, or through traditional open surgery. Most people recover quickly and can resume normal activities soon after the operation. The body can adjust to the absence of the gallbladder, although some may need to make dietary changes to aid digestion.
