WHAT IS THE GALLBLADDER?
Your gallbladder is a small organ in your upper abdomen. The abdomen is the area in the middle of your body that holds many organs, including the stomach and gallbladder.
WHAT DOES THE GALLBLADDER DO?
The gallbladder collects and stores a liquid called bile that helps your body break down food. Small, hard deposits called gallstones can form in the gallbladder. This is a common condition.
What Causes Gallbladder Problems?
Gallstones are often the cause. These small, hard deposits form in the gallbladder. They can also get into the bile duct, which connects the gallbladder with your intestines.
You are more likely to get gallstones if you:
Are a woman,
Have had children,
Are overweight, or
Are over 40.
You might also get gallstones if other people in your family had them. Doctors do not have a consistent way of preventing gallstones.
Symptoms can include:
Sharp pain in your abdomen,
Nausea and vomiting,
Indigestion,
Fever, and
Yellow skin - Jaundice is the medical term for skin and eyes that look yellow. You might get jaundice if gallstones block your bile duct.
How do doctors find gallbladder problems?
Your doctor will probably order a test called an ultrasound. It shows the inside of the body using sound waves. You are awake during the test, and it does not hurt.
How do doctors treat gallbladder problems?
Taking the gallbladder out is usually the best way to treat gallbladder problems. You might get some relief from changing your diet. For example, eating less fat can help. But gallstones rarely go away on their own.
You might have heard about treatments to break up gallstones or make them melt away (dissolve). Unfortunately, these do not usually work well.
What are the advantages of laparoscopic gallbladder surgery?
Smaller incision .
Less pain than after open surgery.
Quicker recovery than open surgery -
How Should I Prepare for Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal?
You will need a full physical examination. You might need some tests to make sure you are healthy enough for surgery.
The surgeon who will do your laparoscopic gallbladder removal will talk with you about the risks and benefits of surgery. Then you will sign a form saying you understand and agree to the operation. Your surgeon’s office will tell you what to do and avoid before surgery. The exact instructions depend on your surgeon, but here are some common things to do.
Take a shower the night before surgery or the same morning. Your surgeon might ask you to use an antibiotic soap. Please do not shave your belly area.
Stop eating and drinking at the time your doctor tells you before surgery.
The morning of your surgery, you may take medications your doctor told you are allowed. Take them with just a sip of water.
You might need to stop taking certain medicines before surgery. These include blood thinners, supplements, and medicines that affect your immune system. Talk to your surgeon when you schedule your laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
You will need someone to drive you home from surgery. You will also need someone to stay with you overnight. Ask your doctor or nurse how much help you might need.
It is very important to know about your doctor’s training and experience before your surgery. Ask about their experience doing laparoscopic gallbladder removal and open gallbladder surgery.
You will probably go back to normal activities within one week.
Most complications from gallbladder surgery are rare, which means they almost never happen.
GOING HOME
You can probably go home the day you have your surgery, or you might stay in the hospital overnight. You need to be able to drink liquids before you go home.
You will feel some pain after surgery.
You can take non-prescription medications to relieve pain, unless your doctor tells you not to.
Your surgeon might prescribe a small amount of narcotic pain medicine to help you with pain. Many people recover from surgery without taking any narcotic pain medicine, but some will need narcotics for a few days. If you have questions about pain after surgery, ask the surgeon or your nurses. They should be able to tell you how long the pain will last and what to expect.
You might feel sick to your stomach (nauseated) or throw up (vomit) after your surgery. Having surgery and anesthesia can make this happen. You should feel better in a day or two. Tell your doctor or nurse if you keep vomiting or feeling nauseated.
ACTIVITIES
You should be as active as your body allows. The next day, you may take your bandages off, if you have them, and take a shower. You can expect to feel a little better each day after going home.
You can probably go back to normal activity about a week after laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
