Gallbladder surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, is a common general surgical procedure performed to remove the gallbladder when it causes pain, inflammation, or other complications. The most frequent indication for gallbladder surgery is the presence of gallstones, which can block bile flow and lead to recurrent abdominal pain or infection.
Cholecystectomy is recommended when symptoms persist or when conservative management is no longer effective. Removal of the gallbladder does not prevent normal digestion, as bile continues to flow directly from the liver to the intestine.
