How is gallbladder removal done?

There are two ways being commonly used today. Both require general anesthesia.

Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is becoming more and more common, and more and more preferred by anyone who needs to have their gallbladder removed. Laparoscopic surgery involves a small video tube that passes into the abdominal area through a small incision. The surgeon actually performs the procedure by looking at a video monitor.

An open incision. This is a more traditional method that requires opening the abdomen and removing the gallbladder through the opening. It leaves a scar and requires a longer recovery.


Avoiding gallbladder surgery

If you want to do your best to make sure you never need gallbladder surgery, eating the right kind of food--and avoiding the wrong kind--is essential.

If you eat fruit, vegetables, and certain varieties of rice, grains and beans, you'll be doing your gallbladder a favor. The more fatty foods you eat, the higher your chances of needing gallbladder surgery someday.
