Gallbladder Surgery
Gallbladder is a small organ situated near the
liver, with primary function of bile storage.
This bile juice is useful for the breakdown of
fats in the body. Any extra bile produced by the
liver gets stored in the gall bladder and is
released by the bladder when your meals have
those fats which need to be broken down for
digestion. Thus, gall bladder is a storage organ
and hence the only difference without a
gallbladder would be that the bile will not be
stored in the gallbladder.
When the accumulation of hard fragments in the
gallbladder starts hurting or causes other
symptoms of indigestion, the doctor usually
suggests a surgery for its removal. There is no
other way to dissolve or remove these gallstones.
The gall bladder surgery is called
cholecystectomy and is one of the most common
surgeries.

Types of Gallbladder Surgery
The gall bladder surgery is performed in two ways
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy  Also called the
keyhole surgery, it doesnt require a big
incision on your belly but the doctor makes four
small cuts. A tiny video camera fitted with light
is inserted from the cut through a thin, flexible
tube. Further, the doctor inserts special tools
with which they remove the diseased organ.
Open Cholecystectomy  is done by making a 5- to
7- inch long incision (cut) on the belly. It is
usually done in cases with bleeding disorder,
being overweight, or in last trimester of
pregnancy or have severe gallbladder disease.

Recovery After Gallbladder Surgery
The cholecystectomy surgery is done with general
anesthesia and hence you do not feel the pain or
the procedure at that time. Once the surgery is
completed, you are being shifted to the recovery
room till the effect of anesthesia goes off. Then
you are shifted to hospital room. In case of
laparoscopic cholecystectomy, usually people go
home the same day with some cases requiring a one
night stay in the hospital. It takes about one
week to recover fully.
In open gallbladder removal cases, one is
expected to spend two to three days in hospital
for recovery and four to six weeks for complete
recovery.

Living Without the Gallbladder
Usually one can lead the life without any major
change in ones life yet there might be slight
discomfort in certain aspects. A very small
percentage of people might face complications
with their digestion. The best way to overcome
digestion related problems is to be on a low fat
diet for the initial few weeks which will help
the body adapt to living without a gallbladder.
A big ninety percent of the surgery cases are
able to resume their normal diet. One might
notice frequent bowel movements which can be
adjusted gradually.

Easy Tips to Manage the Change

• Shift to a low-fat diet.
• Avoid fatty foods like fried foods etc.
• Have small but frequent meals.
• Avoid eating heavy dinner, especially after
  fasting for the whole day.

Little care post the surgery will set you free to
void created by removal of this pear-shaped organ.
