What Is Gallbladder Removal?
Gallbladder surgery (also called cholecystectomy) is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, a small, pear-shaped organ under the liver that the body uses to store the digestive fluid, bile. Removal of the gallbladder may be necessary in the case of gallstones, large gallbladder polyps, or biliary dyskinesia, which is the abnormal movement of the gallbladder. For patients of Mountain West Surgical Specialists, cholecystectomy is often performed with minimally invasive surgery at an accredited surgical facility in the Cheyenne, WY area. In this version of gallbladder surgery, our extensively trained general surgeons will use the robotic surgical system to perform the surgery through small incisions created in the abdomen. Schedule a consultation at our Cheyenne, WY location to learn more about this state-of-the-art procedure.
What Can I Expect During A Robotic Cholecystectomy?
Using a robotic surgical system allows our experienced gallbladder surgeons to make tiny, precise incisions in the abdomen to access the gallbladder. Patients can typically expect cholecystectomy surgery to take no more than one hour and can usually resume their normal routines within one week. Our general surgeons at Mountain West Surgical Specialists can help determine a patient's eligibility during a treatment consultation.
What Are the Benefits of Gallbladder Removal?
Gallbladder disease can be a source of tremendous discomfort, causing sharp, stabbing pains in your right side. If left untreated, it can also trigger further complications for your health in the future.
- Eliminates inflammation caused by issues, like gallstones
