Why is there a need for Gallbladder removal?

The gallbladder is a tiny organ lying underneath the liver. Its key function is to store the bile that the liver produces. Bile is a chemical that aids the body in breaking down and absorbing lipids. Sometimes the bile can be thick and cause clogs in the channel, usually drains resulting in gallstones. Gallbladder Removal Surgery is performed to remove or empty the gallbladder filled with gallstones.

What are Gallstones?

Gallstones are stony aggregates of bile that can become lodged inside the gallbladder and biliary ducts. The size can be from a grain of sand to a golf ball. Gallstones can also induce acute or chronic gallbladder soreness, sometimes in conjunction with an infection, which can result in:

  • diarrhea
  • morning sickness or vomiting
  • fever
  • jaundice
  • and unbearable pain

If gallstones cause substantial discomfort and other difficulties, a Laparoscopic Surgeon will remove your gallbladder through the surgical gallbladder removal procedure, known as Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
