Why Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder Removal) Is Needed
Cholecystectomy is most commonly performed for symptomatic gallstones causing recurrent pain, but it's also indicated for acute cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation), gallbladder polyps, biliary colic, and occasionally for gallbladder cancer. It becomes necessary when gallstones repeatedly block bile flow or trigger inflammation and infection.
