Cholecystectomy

A cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, most commonly performed using a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique through small incisions in the abdomen. This procedure is primarily done to treat gallstones and prevent complications such as infections or blockages in the bile ducts. It is a safe and effective surgery, typically offering a quicker recovery compared to open surgery.

You may be recommended for a cholecystectomy if you have any of the following conditions:

• Cholelithiasis: Gallstones in the gallbladder
• Choledocholithiasis: Gallstones lodged in the bile duct
• Cholecystitis: Inflammation of the gallbladder
• Large gallbladder polyps
• Gallstone pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas caused by gallstones
