Laparoscopic cholecystectomy - removing the gallbladder to treat gallstones

Gall Bladder Removal in India

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy - removing the gallbladder to treat gallstones Your gallbladder will need to be removed if the gallstones in it cause complications. The presence of gallstones is called cholelithiasis. Doctors may also recommend this type of surgery if you have  - biliary dyskinesia, which occurs when the gallbladder doesn’t empty bile correctly due to a defect; pancreatitis or the inflammation of the pancreas is related to gallstones; cholecystitis or bladder inflammation; or choledocholithiasis which occurs when gallstones move to the common bile duct and block it, preventing the gallbladder and rest of the biliary tree from draining.
