Located below the liver, the gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that stores bile, a fluid produced by the liver to help digest fats.
When stones block its duct, an inflammation called cholecystitis can occur.
To relieve this inflammation, doctors usually recommend a cholecystectomy to remove the gallbladder.

The most common cause of cholecystitis is gallstones, which are hard stones that form in the gallbladder.
Other causes of cholecystitis include:

Nausea, vomiting, fever and loss of appetite may also occur.
In more severe cases, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) may occur, indicating obstruction of the bile ducts.
Cholecystitis is usually diagnosed based on the patient's symptoms, a physical examination, and imaging tests such as ultrasound or computed tomography (CT).
Treatment of cholecystitis in Turkey involves removal of the gallbladder, a procedure known as cholecystectomy.
Cholecystectomy can be performed by open or laparoscopic surgery.
A coelioscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive technique performed under general anesthesia.
The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a camera and miniaturized instruments to remove the gallbladder.
Laparotomy cholecystectomy is a more invasive technique performed through a larger incision in the abdomen. It is usually reserved for more complex cases.
The average hospital stay after cholecystectomy is short, often limited to a day or two.
After cholecystectomy, most patients experience abdominal pain, tiredness, and nausea. These symptoms usually go away within a few days.
To promote a good recovery after a cholecystectomy, it is important to:
