What is Cholecystectomy?

Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, most often performed to treat:

• Gallstones causing pain or infection
• Gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis)
• Gallbladder disease or dysfunction

Our surgeons typically perform this procedure laparoscopically (with tiny incisions and a camera), which often means less pain, minimal scarring, and a quicker return to your normal activities.
