What is Gallbladder Removal Surgery?
Cholecystectomy is the removal of the gallbladder, usually due to gallstones. It’s often performed using laparoscopy.
How does the wound happen?
Multiple small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert surgical instruments and remove the gallbladder.
What Happens If Not Treated Properly?
- Infection or Fluid Build-Up at Incision Sites: Wounds can become swollen, warm, or leak fluid.
- Pain and Nausea: Poor care can prolong post-op symptoms like bloating or cramping.
- Scarring or Hernias: Even small incisions can scar or weaken if not healed properly.
- Delayed Return to Normal Activity: Ignoring wound care may extend the recovery period.
