What is Gallbladder Removal Surgery?

Gallbladder removal surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, is a procedure to remove the gallbladder—a small organ under the liver that stores bile. When the gallbladder develops stones or becomes diseased, it can cause pain, infection, and digestive problems. Removing the gallbladder is a safe and effective solution for many patients.

Ignoring gallbladder symptoms can lead to serious complications like infection or pancreatitis. Early diagnosis and timely surgery are essential for a safe recovery.

Understanding Gallbladder Removal Surgery

Gallbladder removal is most often performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, which allow for smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. Open surgery may be needed in rare or complex cases. At Baines Hospital, we tailor the surgical approach to each patient’s needs for the best possible outcome.
