Overview

Cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure in which the gallbladder is removed. It is usually performed for gallstones, to correct abnormal biliary anatomy or to treat conditions such as cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), pancreatitis and choledocholithiasis (the presence of gallstones in the common bile duct). The procedure is a common and safe operation, and provides long-term relief from symptoms associated with gallbladder disease. In addition, prevention of further complications or recurrence of symptoms is also improved. Cholecystectomy is generally safe, but, as with any surgery, there are risks and complications associated with the procedure.
