Gallbladder Removal Surgery/ Cholecystectomy
Gall bladder is a small organ in the upper abdomen, responsible for collecting and storing bile- that assists in breaking down food. Sometimes, hard, and small deposits, called gallstones, can form in gallbladder. These can cause health problems, and usually the gallbladder must be removed surgically to get rid the pain. The procedure is called gallbladder removal surgery or Cholecystectomy.
There are two types of gallbladder removal surgery/ Cholecystectomy
Open (traditional) method– the surgeon makes one 4 to 6 inches long incision in the upper right side of the abdomen, to remove gallbladder through the incision
Laparoscopic method– the surgeon would make 3 to 4 small incisions, using long thin tube known as laparoscope. This tube uses tiny video camera as well as the surgical tool- and the tube, tools and camera are inserted through the incision. The surgeon would perform the surgery looking at TV monitor and would remove gallbladder through one of the incisions.

Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery/ Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery, also known as Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, is an advanced and less invasive procedure for patients with inflammation, infection or pain caused by gallstones. It is performed by making a very small incision in the abdomen, which means there is less bleeding, whereas in traditional open surgery, larger incision is made. The recovery process after Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery/ Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is fast, and in most cases, patients are allowed to go home the same day. They can also return to their normal routine activities soon.

Female Gallbladder Surgery
Female gallbladder surgery is more common, due to several reasons, including
- According to statistics, women are twice at risk of getting gallstones as compared to men.
- Obesity increases the risk of gallstones, especially in women
- Excess of estrogen in women, caused by hormone replacement therapies, pregnancy or birth control pills increases cholesterol levels in bile, while decreasing gallbladder movement and hence leading to gallstones.
Gallbladder Removal Surgery Recovery
Gallbladder removal surgery recovery time is different for open and laparoscopic procedure.
After laparoscopic procedure, the patients can go home the same day, and can return to normal activities after about 2 weeks- if they have a desk job. In case they have a manual job, they might need some more rest before resuming work.
In case of open (traditional) surgery, the patient must stay in hospital for 3-5 days, and recovery can take up to 3-4 weeks in case of desk job. For manual workers, 6-8 weeks rest is usually required.
In either case, the patient would have to arrange for someone to take them home from the hospital, and if the discharge is on same day, someone should stay with them for at least 24 hours, until the effects of anesthetic are completely gone.
There could be several temporary side effects of the surgery, including bruised, swollen, and painful wounds, feeling sick due to anesthetic, pain in shoulders and stomach, diarrhea, flatulence, and bloating. All these side effects are normal, and should not cause concern, however if these persist, contact your doctor for advice.
Gallbladder Surgery Diet
After gallbladder surgery, bile flows freely into the intestines and acts as a laxative, causing bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Although there is no specific gallbladder surgery diet, the following tips might assist in minimizing problems caused by post-surgery diarrhea:
- Avoiding high- fat food, including greasy and fried items, gravies, and sauces for at least a week. Include low-fat and fat-free food in your diet instead.
- Increase fiber in diet, like barley and oats- it would help in regulating bowel movement. However, increase the amount of fiber gradually, as too much fiber can make cramping and gas problems worse.
- Healthy, small, and frequent meals, including lean protein (fish and poultry), fat-free dairy as well as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Avoid caffeine, very sweet food items and dairy products, as they might worsen diarrhea and cause more pain.
- Avoid processed food.
