What Is Gallbladder Removal?
The gallbladder is a small but important organ that helps with digestion by releasing bile to break down food. An inflamed or malfunctioning gallbladder can trigger a range of uncomfortable symptoms, from abdominal pain to fever and nausea. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove the gallbladder entirely to relieve these symptoms. At Fernando E Bayron MD, we perform gallbladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy) using an advanced laparoscopic approach designed to minimize discomfort and scarring. If you've experienced unexplained abdominal pain or other potential symptoms of gallbladder disease, we urge you to schedule a consultation at our Tamarac, FL office so we can diagnose the issue and start treatment as soon as possible. We are committed to helping you find the solution that's best for your needs.
What Should I Expect with Gallbladder Removal Surgery?
Gallbladder removal surgery is an outpatient procedure performed with general anesthesia. Once you're sedated, we'll make several small incisions in the abdomen to create space to insert the necessary tools for your procedure. Using an advanced light and camera system along with our other instruments, we'll carefully detach the gallbladder from the surrounding tissues and remove it from your body before sealing the incisions. Gallbladder removal surgery usually takes about an hour, after which you will be moved into a recovery area for a few hours as the anesthesia wears off. The recovery period after the procedure is about 1 – 2 weeks, but your case may vary.
What Are the Benefits of Gallbladder Removal?
Gallbladder disease can be a source of tremendous discomfort, causing sharp, stabbing pains in your right side. If left untreated, it can also trigger further complications for your health in the future. Cholecystectomy at Fernando E Bayron MD can significantly cut your risk of health problems while offering side benefits that include:
- Addresses pain created by blockages or infection in the bile ducts
- Eliminates inflammation caused by issues, like gallstones
- Improves overall quality of life
- Advanced laparoscopic technique limits potential trauma to the body and eases recovery period
