Cholecystectomy (/ËkÉlÉsÉªsËtÉktÉmi/ ; plural: cholecystectomies) is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. It is a common treatment of symptomatic gallstones and other gallbladder conditions. Surgical options include the standard procedure, called laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and an older more invasive procedure, called open cholecystectomy.
The gallbladder is removed in order to treat inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), biliary dyskinesia or gallbladder cancer. : 1017ff Cholecystitis may be acute or chronic, and may or may not involve the presence of gallstones.
