Gallbladder Cancer Surgery is performed to treat cancer found in the gallbladder, often requiring the removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) and potentially other surrounding structures like the liver or bile ducts, depending on the extent of the disease.

If the cancer is confined to the gallbladder, a cholecystectomy may be sufficient, but in more advanced stages, a more extensive resection of nearby tissue may be necessary. If the cancer has spread to nearby organs, a liver resection or bile duct resection may be required as well.

Postoperative care focuses on pain management, infection prevention, and supporting the digestive system. Patients may also need chemotherapy or radiation therapy after surgery to address any remaining cancer cells.

Gallbladder cancer surgery is essential for treating localized disease, offering improved survival rates and symptom relief. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are critical for achieving the best possible outcomes.
