What is gallbladder surgery?
Surgical removal of the gallbladder when stones or inflammation cause problems
Gallbladder surgery, also called cholecystectomy, removes the gallbladder when gallstones, infection, inflammation, or complications cause repeated pain or risk.
At Myra City Hospital, laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is performed through small incisions using advanced instruments. Compared with traditional open surgery, this approach usually supports faster healing, less pain, minimal scarring, and a shorter hospital stay.
