Gallbladder
The gallbladder is an organ located under the liver, close to its edge, between segments IV and V, and an imaginary line passes through it that divides the liver into two (right and left). Stores bile that is discharged during meals to allow for the digestion and absorption of fats and vitamins. It can often have gallstones inside it, which are responsible for causing symptoms of abdominal pain and sometimes complicated and life threatening situations. Surgery is the only treatment.

SYMPTOMS AND COMPLICATIONS
The presence of symptomatic gallstones or those responsible for serious complications is the main indication to be operated on the gallbladder. However, even in the absence of symptoms there are reasons to be operated on: large stones (risk of cancer); polyps; gallbladder cancer; biliary dyskinesia (lazy gallbladder); some associated diseases.
What is the best way to be operated on? Mini invasive surgery
LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY
Laparoscopic surgery is currently the best technique. Through 4 small incisions in the abdomen and with the help of a camera, it is possible to remove the gallbladder safely, effectively and with minimal pain. Recovery is fast.
Could the surgery have complications?
They are rare but they happen.
LIONS OF THE MAIN BILLIARY ROAD
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (bladder removal) is a safe procedure. However, complications are a possibility that is present whenever a cholecystectomy is performed. There are important structures in the area and there are anatomical variations that can lead to mishaps. Damage to the main bile duct (the channel that carries bile into the intestine) is the most common complication.
How long do I have to be hospitalized?
Short time and quick recovery
USUALLY ONE DAY
Some patients can be operated on as an outpatient. However, I usually opt for a minimum hospital stay of ≈ 24 h for the patient to be discharged more safely.
Can I go back to eating whatever I want?
As long as you like you can eat
PROGRESSIVELY MAY
Meals with a lot of fat (whether because of the way they are made or because of the foods used) are the ones that cause most complaints to those who suffer from the gallbladder. After the gallbladder is removed, you can progressively re-introduce those meals and foods that you love to eat from time to time.
