Gallbladder Stone Surgery

Overview

Gallstones are hardened, concentrated pieces of bile that form in your gallbladder or bile ducts. “Gall” means bile, so gallstones are bile stones. Your gallbladder is your bile bladder. It holds and stores bile for later use. Your liver makes bile, and your bile ducts carry it to the different organs in your biliary tract.

Healthcare providers sometimes use the term “cholelithiasis” to describe the condition of having gallstones. “Chole” also means bile, and “lithiasis” means stones forming. Gallstones form when bile sediment collects and crystallizes. Often, the sediment is an excess of one of the main ingredients in bile.

  • Back pain between your shoulder blades

Frequently Asked Question

Your Right To Know

During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and surgical instruments. The gallbladder is then carefully dissected and removed from the body through one of the incisions.

Recovery after gallbladder stone surgery varies from person to person but typically involves a few days of rest, pain management with medications, and gradually resuming normal activities. Patients are advised to follow their surgeon's instructions regarding diet, activity level, and wound care to promote healing.
