Gallstones
Gallstones are hardened deposits in the gallbladder that can cause pain, nausea, and inflammation. Symptomatic gallstones are commonly treated with gallbladder removal.
About gallstones
Gallstones are solid deposits that develop in the gallbladder. Some people have gallstones without symptoms, while others experience painful attacks, often after fatty meals.
Surgery may be recommended when gallstones cause pain, inflammation, infection, or blockage. Gallbladder removal is commonly performed laparoscopically for a faster recovery when appropriate.
