Gallbladder
Operation
Gallbladder surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, is a common surgical procedure performed to remove the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver and plays a role in storing and releasing bile, a substance that aids in digestion.
What is the
gallbladder
and what does it do?
The gallbladder is an organ under our liver where the digestive enzymes produced in the liver come, concentrate and store.
When we eat, the gallbladder contracts and sends the digestive enzymes it contains to our intestines so that the food we eat can be digested.

What are the symptoms of
gallstones
?
In many people, gallstones are asymptomatic and silent. The symptoms are often confused with stomach complaints.
It can cause general discomfort such as indigestion, bloating, nausea, pain in the upper right side of the abdomen, vomiting.
Gallstones can cause lifelong discomfort or life-threatening symptoms. Stones in the gallbladder can block the bile outlet duct and cause serious infections in the gallbladder.
Stones in the gallbladder can fall into the bile duct and block the bile duct, leading to jaundice and bile duct infections.
How are
gallstones
treated?
Gallstones that are discovered by chance and do not cause any symptoms do not need to be treated.
If there are gallstones that have caused or are causing symptoms, the treatment is to remove the gallbladder completely.
As gallbladder surgery is performed using a closed method (laparoscopic), recovery is very quick and patients can return to work early.

There are two types of gallbladder surgeries: laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy. In a laparoscopic procedure, several small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a tiny camera and surgical instruments are inserted to remove the gallbladder. This minimally invasive approach offers shorter recovery times and reduced scarring. On the other hand, open cholecystectomy involves a single large incision. This method may be necessary if there are complications or if the surgeon needs better access to the gallbladder.
The most common reason for gallbladder surgery is the presence of gallstones, which can cause pain, inflammation, and other complications. Other indications for surgery include gallbladder polyps or gallbladder cancer. Gallbladder removal is usually a safe procedure, but like any surgery, it carries some risks such as infection, bleeding, or injury to surrounding organs.
After gallbladder surgery, patients can typically resume their normal activities within a few weeks. However, the body may take time to adjust to the absence of the gallbladder, and dietary changes may be necessary. Some people may experience mild digestive symptoms, such as diarrhea, after the surgery.
In conclusion, gallbladder surgery is a common procedure to remove the gallbladder, usually due to the presence of gallstones. It can be performed laparoscopically or through an open approach. While it carries some risks, the surgery is generally safe and provides relief from gallbladder-related problems. It is important for individuals to follow post-operative instructions and make necessary adjustments to their diet to ensure a smooth recovery.
