Overview

Gallbladder surgery, also known as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the gallbladder, an organ that stores bile. It’s often necessary for painful gallstones or inflammation (cholecystitis). Performed through small abdominal incisions, this modern approach ensures less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster recovery.
