Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal Surgery

What is Gallbladder stone?

Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, just beneath your liver. The gallbladder holds a digestive fluid called bile that's released into your small intestine. The gallbladder stores a digestive juice called bile from the liver. The bile is then released into the small intestine, where it helps your body to break down and absorb fats from food.

Gallbladder stones are small, solid particles that deposit in the gallbladder. This mainly occurs when the stored bile crystallizes.

Gallstones are very commonly found in majority of the people. Gallstone that don't cause any signs & symptoms typically doesn't need any treatment.
