Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, the small organ beneath the liver that stores bile. It is one of the most commonly performed abdominal operations worldwide and is typically recommended for people with symptomatic gallstones, gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), or related complications such as bile duct stones or gallstone pancreatitis. The most common approach is laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, performed through three or four small incisions using a camera and slim instruments, which allows most patients to go home the same day or the following morning. In complex cases — such as severe inflammation, scarring from prior surgery, or suspected cancer — an open incision may be necessary. Most people experience lasting relief from pain and digestive symptoms, with full recovery typically within two to four weeks after laparoscopic surgery.
