Learn about the little-known impacts of gallbladder removal on digestive health and the potential diseases that could result.
Is gallbladder removal routinely necessary for gallstones?
The presence of gallstones does not always lead to immediate surgery. Some stones are asymptomatic and do not cause any problems. In these situations, simple medical monitoring is sufficient.
However, when severe pain, inflammation (cholecystitis), or complications such as bile duct obstruction occur, removal often becomes unavoidable. This procedure, known as cholecystectomy, is performed laparoscopically and helps prevent more serious complications.
