Gallstones are hardened deposits in the gallbladder that can cause pain, nausea, and digestion problems. If gallstones create severe symptoms, surgery may be needed. Here’s what you should know about gallstone surgery:
Types of Gallstone Surgery
1. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy – A minimally invasive surgery where small cuts are made to remove the gallbladder. It has a quick recovery time.
2. Open Cholecystectomy – A traditional surgery with a larger incision, used in complicated cases. Recovery takes longer.
3. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) – Used to remove stones from the bile duct without removing the gallbladder.
Procedure Overview
- The patient is given anesthesia to avoid pain.
- Small or large incisions are made based on the type of surgery.
- The gallbladder or stones are removed safely.
- The incisions are closed, and recovery begins.
What to Expect After Surgery
- Mild pain and bloating, which go away in a few days.
- Most patients recover in 1–2 weeks for laparoscopic surgery and 4–6 weeks for open surgery.
- A healthy diet helps with digestion after gallbladder removal.
