Performed to remove the gallbladder, most commonly due to gallstones causing recurrent pain, gallbladder inflammation, or gallstones that have moved into and blocked the bile ducts. It's also used for gallbladder polyps of concerning size or, occasionally, gallbladder cancer.

Signs You May Need Cholecystectomy

Sudden, intense pain in the upper right or middle abdomen, often after fatty meals, which can radiate to the back or shoulder, along with nausea, vomiting, bloating, and sometimes fever if there's associated infection. Jaundice can occur if a gallstone blocks the main bile duct, which is a more urgent warning sign.

Types of Cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, using several small incisions and a camera, is the standard modern approach with a much faster recovery than older methods. Open cholecystectomy, through a larger abdominal incision, is reserved for complicated cases, extensive scarring from prior surgery, or when laparoscopic surgery needs to be converted due to unexpected findings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I live normally without a gallbladder?

Yes, most people digest food normally without a gallbladder, though some experience mild changes in fat digestion or looser stools, especially after fatty meals, in the initial period.

How long is the hospital stay?

Typically just 1-2 days for laparoscopic surgery, often even same-day discharge in straightforward cases.

Will my diet need to change permanently?

Most people can eventually return to a normal diet, though some choose to moderate very fatty or greasy foods, especially in the weeks right after surgery.

What if I have gallstones without symptoms?

Asymptomatic gallstones found incidentally often don't require surgery unless there are specific risk factors your doctor identifies; discuss your specific case with a surgeon.

How soon can I return to work?

Most people return to desk-based work within a week, with heavier physical activity resuming over the following couple of weeks.
