Gallstone Removal Surgery is commonly performed to remove gallstones from the gallbladder or bile ducts, which can cause pain, infections, or blockages. The most common surgical approach is cholecystectomy, where the gallbladder is removed, but in some cases, endoscopic procedures are used to remove stones from the bile ducts.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the preferred method, as it involves smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery compared to open surgery. The procedure may also include the removal of stones from the bile ducts through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Postoperative care includes managing pain, avoiding fatty foods, and gradually resuming a normal diet. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days to a week.

Gallstone removal surgery provides effective relief from the symptoms caused by gallstones and helps prevent further complications like infections, pancreatitis, or jaundice.
