The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile, a fluid that helps in the digestion of fats. Gallbladder removal is typically recommended for patients who experience recurrent gallbladder attacks, usually caused by the formation of gallstones, and can cause severe pain, nausea, and vomiting.
During a gallbladder removal, the surgeon makes a small incision in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope, a thin, flexible instrument with a camera attached. The camera allows the surgeon to view the gallbladder and surrounding area on a monitor.
The surgeon then uses specialized instruments to carefully remove the gallbladder from the liver and bile ducts. In some cases, the surgeon may need to convert to open surgery if there are complications or if the patient has a history of abdominal surgeries.
Gallbladder removal is typically performed as a minimally invasive procedure, which means that it involves smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter recovery time compared to traditional open surgery.
After a gallbladder removal, most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to a week. However, some patients may experience digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, or constipation, which can usually be managed with dietary changes or medication.
