Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) - Mayo Clinic 🚀
https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cholecystectomy/about/pac-20384818
Mayo Clinic, with a decisive pro-removal statement: "Conservative treatments, such as a change in diet, usually can't stop gallstones from coming back"
Quoting more: A cholecystectomy is most often used to treat gallstones and the complications they cause.
Your health care team may recommend a cholecystectomy if you have:
Gallstones in the gallbladder that are causing symptoms, called cholelithiasis. Gallstones in the bile duct, called choledocholithiasis. Gallbladder inflammation, called cholecystitis. Large gallbladder polyps, which can turn cancerous. Pancreas inflammation, called pancreatitis, from gallstones. Concern for cancer of the gallbladder ... A cholecystectomy can relieve the pain and discomfort of gallstones. Conservative treatments, such as a change in diet, usually can't stop gallstones from coming back. In most people, a cholecystectomy will prevent gallstones from returning.
Most people won't have digestive problems after a cholecystectomy. Your gallbladder isn't essential to healthy digestion. Some people may experience occasional loose stool after the procedure. This generally resolves over time. Discuss any changes in your bowel habits or new symptoms after surgery with your health care team.
Gallbladder: What Is It, Function, Location & Anatomy 🚀
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/21690-gallbladder
A positive (pro-removal) article from the Cleveland Clinic.
Quoting: Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ in your upper right abdomen. Your gallbladder stores and releases bile to help your digestive system break down fats. The most common issue you may develop with your gallbladder is gallstones. Gallstones are pebble-like objects made from bile material. Most people don’t even know they have them, and most of the time they will not cause a problem. If you have upper right abdomen pain after eating fatty meals, nausea, vomiting, jaundice or fever, talk to your healthcare provider. If your gallbladder is found to be the culprit, you may need your gallbladder removed, which is OK — it’s not an essential organ, and removing it may make you feel better.
