Open Cholecystectomy
Gallstones are a common problem. An operation to remove your gallbladder should result in you being free of pain and able to eat a normal diet.
Gallstones are ‘stones’ that form in your gallbladder. They are common and can run in families. The risk of developing gallstones increases as you get older and if you eat a diet rich in fat.
For some people gallstones can cause severe symptoms, with repeated attacks of abdominal pain being the most common.
