Gallbladder Surgery (Cholecystectomy)

Gallbladder Surgery (Cholecystectomy)

Gallbladder surgery is one of the most common and effective treatments for gallstones that cause pain, infections, or repeated digestive issues. When gallstones block the bile ducts or inflame the gallbladder, removing the organ is the safest and permanent solution.

What the Surgery Involves

Most procedures today are done using laparoscopy, where tiny incisions and a camera allow the surgeon to remove the gallbladder with minimal disruption. This approach offers quicker healing, less discomfort, and a shorter hospital stay.
