What is Gallbladder Surgery?
Gallbladder surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, is the surgical removal of the gallbladder — a small organ that stores bile produced by the liver. This procedure becomes necessary when gallstones, inflammation, or other gallbladder diseases cause severe symptoms or complications.
Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar, practicing at Gastroplus Hospital in Nikol, specializes in advanced gallbladder and pancreas surgery using minimally invasive techniques including laparoscopic and robotic approaches.
When is Gallbladder Surgery Required?
Gallbladder surgery may be recommended for various conditions:
Common Indications for Surgery:
- Gallstones (Cholelithiasis): Hard deposits that block bile flow
- Cholecystitis: Acute or chronic gallbladder inflammation
- Choledocholithiasis: Stones in the bile duct
- Gallbladder Polyps: Growth that may become cancerous
- Biliary Dyskinesia: Poor gallbladder function
- Gallbladder Cancer: Malignant tumors requiring surgical intervention
