Understanding Gallbladder Issues

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located under the liver. Its primary function is to store bile, a substance produced by the liver that helps in digesting fats. Gallstones, gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), and biliary dyskinesia are common conditions that may require gallbladder removal. Symptoms of gallbladder problems can include pain in the upper right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and digestive issues, particularly after eating fatty foods.

Our Gallbladder Removal Procedures

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common and minimally invasive technique for gallbladder removal. This procedure involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and surgical instruments are inserted. The gallbladder is then carefully removed, and the incisions are closed. Benefits include less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.

Open Cholecystectomy

In certain cases, an open cholecystectomy may be necessary. This traditional method involves a larger incision in the abdomen to access and remove the gallbladder. While recovery time is longer compared to laparoscopic surgery, open cholecystectomy is performed when it is considered to be the safest option for the patient.
