DON’T LET IT GET COMPLICATED!
Gallstones can cause pancreatitis, infection, or bile duct obstruction
The gallbladder is an organ that is located below the liver.
This stores bile, which is used by the body to digest fats in the small intestine. Surgery to remove the gallbladder is indicated when there are stones in it or alterations in its motility.
The surgery with the most benefits, fastest recovery, less pain, fewer complications, and with impressive cosmetic results is laparoscopy.
