Gallbladder removal or laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common operations being performed in the world. Usually, the operation is advised for patients with gallstones who develop symptoms of inflammation of the gallbladder. There are several advantages to laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder such as lesser pain, faster recovery and smaller scar.
Many patients ask their surgeons whether removing the gallbladder causes any adverse effects. Many animals do not have gallbladders. Gallbladder is the storage organ for bile which helps in digestion. In people without gallbladders, bile is directly delivered to the intestines. Theoretically, patients may not digest food well but it is found that the body adjusts and most patients are able to consume a normal diet.
Celebrities who have undergone gallbladder surgeries include the Dalai Lama, Eric Clapton and Jack Black.
