Gall Bladder Surgery Overview

Gall bladder surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, is a procedure to remove the gallbladder, a small organ located under the liver that stores bile. This operation is typically performed to treat gallstones and other gallbladder-related conditions. At MedGlobal Solutions, we utilize state-of-the-art techniques to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy typically takes 1-2 hours, while open surgery may take longer.

Most patients can return to a normal diet after recovery, but some may need to make minor adjustments to prevent digestive discomfort.

We generally recommend waiting at least 7-10 days before long-distance travel, especially air travel, to allow for initial recovery and follow-up care.

Most people don’t experience significant long-term effects. Your liver will continue to produce bile, which will flow directly into the small intestine.
