Gallbladder surgery is a surgical procedure to remove your gallbladder, a small pear-shaped organ in the upper right side of your abdomen just below the liver. The gallbladder partially helps digest fats and lipids by storing a small fraction of bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. Of the 1500 ml of bile produced by the liver each day, only 50 ml is stored in the gallbladder. Gallbladder surgery usually performed laparoscopically often referred to as laparoscopic cholecystectomy or lap chole is the global gold standard for symptomatic gallbladder or gallbladder disease. This procedure is extremely safe, easy to perform, and prevents life-threatening complications of gallstones such as pus formation/gallbladder rupture, obstructive jaundice, and/or pancreatitis. Chronic gallstones also lead to gallbladder cancer, a very aggressive disease with poor survival and outcome..
