If so, you may be wondering what your treatment options are. Well, one common treatment for gallstones is surgery. But what exactly does the procedure involve?
Gallstone surgery, also known as a cholecystectomy, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the removal of the gallbladder. This is the small organ located under the liver that stores bile, a fluid that helps digest fats.
During the surgery, a small incision is made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light, is inserted to guide the surgeon as they remove the gallbladder. The procedure usually takes about an hour, and most patients are able to go home the same day.
Recovery time can vary, but most patients can return to their normal activities within a few weeks. It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions for postoperative care, including any dietary restrictions and physical activity limitations.
If you’re considering gallstone surgery, it’s important to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor to determine if it’s the right option for you. But with modern techniques, gallstone surgery can be a safe and effective way to treat this common condition.
