Cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile. It is most commonly performed when gallstones cause pain, infection, or other complications. Since the gallbladder is not essential for digestion, patients can live a normal life without it.
Conditions Treated
Cholecystectomy is advised in the following conditions:
Gallstones (Cholelithiasis) – Solid deposits causing pain or blockages
Gallbladder Inflammation (Cholecystitis) – Often due to infection or stones
Biliary Dyskinesia – Poor functioning of the gallbladder causing pain after meals
Choledocholithiasis – Gallstones that have moved into the bile ducts
Gallbladder Polyps – Growths that may pose a cancer risk
Gallbladder Cancer – In rare but serious cases
