Gall Bladder Removal ( Cholecystectomy)

Gallbladder removal surgery, also called cholecystectomy, is one of the most common procedures. The gallbladder is a small, sac-like organ located in the upper right part of your abdomen. The surgery is usually performed if your gallstones are causing bothersome pain. Gallstones usually do not cause any discomfort, and you may not notice if you have a stone in your gallbladder. But in some cases of gallstones, they can block the flow of bile or irritate the gallbladder or pancreas.

  • 1-3 days hospitalisation is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does cholecystectomy remove?

Gallbladder removal surgery, also known as a cholecystectomy, is a very common procedure. The gallbladder is a small, pouch-like organ in the upper right part of your tummy. It stores bile, a fluid produced by the liver that helps break down fatty foods.

What happens if the gallbladder is removed?

When the gallbladder is removed, bile made by the liver can no longer be stored between meals. Instead, the bile flows directly into the intestine anytime the liver produces it. Thus, there still is bile in the intestine to mix with food and fat.

What is the life expectancy after gallbladder removal?

Gall bladder removal doesn’t shorten your life expectancy. In fact, it may even increase it as your post-surgery habits ‘force’ you to make healthier dietary choices. By eating smaller amounts of fats, oils, dairy products, and processed foods, you lose weight and reduce your risk of developing conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. As you are also taking in fewer calories per day, your body will digest your food and use energy more efficiently.

What are the long term side effects of gallbladder removal?

Without your gall bladder, bile flows directly into the small intestine. This may stimulate the intestine and 50% of patients may experience loose motion. This symptom will usually last for only 3 – 6 months. If it happens, stay on a low-fat diet to help with the loose motion. After 3 – 6 months patients will return to their normal status.
