Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy) at MaAx Super Speciality Hospital

What the Treatment Is & Why It’s Done

Gallbladder removal, or cholecystectomy, is performed to treat gallstones, gallbladder infections, or bile duct blockages. At MaAx Super Speciality Hospital, this procedure is recommended when gallstones cause severe pain, indigestion, or complications such as pancreatitis.

Removing the gallbladder prevents recurrence of gallstones and helps restore digestive health.

How the Treatment Is Performed

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Minimally invasive surgery using small incisions and a camera.
Open Cholecystectomy: A larger incision is made in the abdomen (used in complex cases).
The gallbladder is carefully detached and removed.
The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, and patients can often return home within 1–2 days.
