Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, commonly performed when gallstones cause pain or infection.
The surgery is typically recommended for people with gallstones, inflammation, or infection of the gallbladder that cause significant discomfort.
The procedure can be done laparoscopically (minimally invasive) or through open surgery, depending on the condition of the gallbladder.
Most people recover within a few weeks, though it may take time to adjust to the absence of the gallbladder.
Like any surgery, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, or injury to nearby organs, but these are rare.
