Cholecystectomy

What is Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder Removal Surgery)?

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.

Cholecystectomy

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

Recovery & Aftercare

  • Most patients go home within 24 hours (in laparoscopic cases)
