Gall Bladder Surgery
Gall Bladder Stone Surgery is a surgical procedure to remove your gallbladder — a
pear-shaped organ that sits just below
your liver on the upper right side of your abdomen. Your gallbladder collects and stores
bile — a digestive fluid
produced in your liver.
A Gall Bladder Stone Surgery is a common surgery, and it carries only a small risk of
complications. In most cases, you
can go home the same day of your cholecystectomy.
A cholecystectomy is most commonly performed by inserting a tiny video camera and
special surgical tools through four
small incisions to see inside your abdomen and remove the gallbladder. Doctors call this
a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
In some cases, one large incision may be used to remove the gallbladder. This is called
an open cholecystectomy.
