Gallbladder Surgery
Gallbladder surgery, or cholecystectomy, is a procedure that involves the removal of your gallbladder, a small organ nestled under your liver. It’s often performed due to gallstones, inflammation, or other gallbladder-related problems that can cause severe discomfort.
Considered a relatively safe procedure, it’s typically performed laparoscopically. Small incisions are made in your abdomen, allowing the surgeon to insert a tiny camera and specialized tools. The minimally invasive nature of this surgery often leads to less pain and faster recovery times than traditional open surgery.
