Gallbladder Surgery
Gallbladder Surgery
Gallbladder surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, is a common procedure performed to treat gallbladder-related conditions, especially gallstones. The gallbladder stores bile, which helps in digestion, but problems in this organ can cause severe pain and complications.
Modern surgical techniques allow gallbladder removal through minimally invasive methods, ensuring faster recovery and minimal discomfort.
