Gallbladder Removal: What to Expect
With Dr. Vijay Khandelwal · Shivjyoti Hospital
Gallbladder removal, or cholecystectomy, is a common procedure used to treat gallstones and related digestive issues. Here is what to expect before, during, and after surgery.
Before Surgery
Your doctor will confirm the diagnosis through ultrasound imaging and review your medical history before scheduling the procedure.
During Surgery
Most gallbladder removals are performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon.
After Surgery
Most patients go home the same day or the next, with normal digestion typically resuming within a few weeks as the body adjusts.
