The medical term for gallbladder removal surgery is called a cholecystectomy. It is a low-risk, standard surgical procedure that may provide relief to those experiencing pain from gallstones usually performed laparoscopically.
If you have signs and symptoms of gallstones, such as sudden intense pain in the right upper area of the abdomen, nausea, or vomiting, your doctor may recommend surgery.
You must prepare by Eating healthy, drinking 2 liters of water and exercising for 5 days a week at least 2 weeks before surgery. If you take any medications please contact your My Doctor Click Case Manager and let him know.
To remove the gallbladder, they make precise incisions on the body and insert a tiny video camera and special surgical tools.
Laparoscopic procedures allow healthcare professionals to see and work inside the abdomen without making a large cut, reducing the recovery time and the risk of infection.
In some cases, a person may need an open cholecystectomy, which requires a large incision to allow doctors to see directly into the abdomen.
You will be monitored closely and given antibiotics and pain medication. Most people recover within a few hours and can go home the next day after surgery. Depending on your type of work you can go back to it in 1 or 2 weeks after surgery.
Following are some common after-care instructions:
