Gallbladder surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, is a common procedure to remove the gallbladder—a small organ located under the liver that stores bile. It’s typically performed when the gallbladder becomes inflamed or contains gallstones that cause pain, infection, or digestive issues. The surgery can be done in two ways: laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, which is minimally invasive, or open surgery in more complex cases. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common method and involves small incisions, a camera (laparoscope), and specialized tools. It usually allows for quicker recovery, less pain, and a shorter hospital stay. Open cholecystectomy requires a larger incision and is used if there are complications like severe inflammation or scar tissue from previous surgeries. Symptoms leading to surgery often include severe abdominal pain (especially after meals), nausea, vomiting, bloating, or even jaundice if a gallstone blocks the bile duct. If left untreated, gallbladder problems can lead to serious complications like infection, pancreatitis, or a ruptured gallbladder. Recovery after laparoscopic surgery typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks, while open surgery may require 4 to 6 weeks. Most people can return to normal activities relatively quickly but are advised to avoid heavy lifting for a few weeks. A temporary change in diet—such as reducing fatty foods—may help digestion post-surgery. Though the gallbladder aids digestion, it’s not essential. After removal, bile flows directly from the liver into the small intestine. Most people live healthy lives without a gallbladder and experience improved quality of life once painful symptoms are resolved. Always consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and to understand the risks, benefits, and recovery expectations of gallbladder surgery.
