  • The Gallbladder
  • Ultrasound to find gallstones.
  • Removal Laparoscopic Gallbladder

  • The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that rests beneath the right side of the liver.

  • Its main purpose is to collect and concentrate a digestive liquid (bile) produced by the liver. Bile is released from the gallbladder after eating, aiding digestion. Bile travels through narrow tubular channels (bile ducts) into the small intestine.

  • Removal of the gallbladder is not associated with any impairment of digestion in most people.

      Causes OF Gallbladder Problems

  • Gallbladder problems are usually caused by the presence of gallstones which are usually small and hard, consisting primarily of cholesterol and bile salts that form in the gallbladder or in the bile duct.

  • It is uncertain why some people form gallstones but risk factors include being female, prior pregnancy, age over 40 years and being overweight. Gallstones are also more common as you get older and some people may have a family history of gallstones.

  • These stones may block the flow of bile out of the gallbladder, causing it to swell and resulting in sharp abdominal pain, vomiting, indigestion and, occasionally, fever.

  • If the gallstone blocks the common bile duct, jaundice (a yellowing of the skin) can occur.

  • In a few more complex cases, other X-ray test such as a CT scan or a gallbladder nuclear medicine scan may be used to evaluate gallbladder disease.

  • Gallstones do not go away on their own. Some can be temporarily managed by making dietary adjustments, such as reducing fat intake. This treatment has a low, short-term success rate. Symptoms will eventually continue unless the gallbladder is removed. Treatments to break up or dissolve gallstones are largely unsuccessful.

  • Surgical removal of the gallbladder is the time honored and safest treatment of gallbladder disease.

  • Rather than a five to seven inch incision, the operation requires only four small openings in the abdomen.

  • Patients usually have minimal post-operative pain.

  • Patients usually experience faster recovery than open gallbladder surgery patients.

  • Most patients go home the same day of the surgery and enjoy a quicker return to normal activities.
