What is Cholecystectomy?

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.
