Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy)

Gallbladder removal eliminates gallstones and related complications, often performed laparoscopically for faster recovery.

The gallbladder stores bile, which helps digest fats. Gallstones can block bile flow, causing pain, infection, or pancreatitis.
Cholecystectomy, most often performed laparoscopically, removes the gallbladder, eliminating these risks permanently.
Patients typically recover quickly, with minimal scarring, and often return home the same day.
