If you have gallstones or other gallbladder-related issues, you may be a candidate for a cholecystectomy. The gallbladder collects and stores bile, a digestive fluid that the liver produces. The gallbladder is found on the right side of the belly, just behind the liver.

What is the purpose of a cholecystectomy, and why is it necessary?

The most common reason for a cholecystectomy is to cure gallstones and their associated complications. As a result, a cholecystectomy can address the following issues:

  • Gallstones in the gallbladder or bile duct
  • Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder)
  • Pancreatitis caused by gallstones
  • Gallbladder polyps

Before undergoing surgery, make sure to discuss the pros and cons with one of our surgeons at Utkarsh Hospital.
