Gallbladder removal surgery, medically known as cholecystectomy, is a procedure performed to remove a diseased gallbladder. The surgery is commonly recommended for patients suffering from gallstones, gallbladder inflammation, gallbladder polyps, or recurrent biliary pain.
The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile, a digestive fluid used to break down fats. When gallstones form or the gallbladder becomes diseased, it can lead to significant discomfort and complications.
Common symptoms include:

In many cases, surgery is the most effective long-term solution.
Gallstones are among the most common causes of gallbladder disease. While some gallstones remain asymptomatic, others can block bile ducts and trigger painful attacks.
