If you have ever had gallstones or gall attacks, you would say gallbladder surgery is necessary. The surgery can typically be done with a laser leaving only small incisions and scars. Gallstones are especially painful and can cause nasty symptoms such as diarreha, vomitting, etc.
It depends on the condition of the gallbaldder. You should consult a doctor to be sure. You can also ask for a second opinion.
The usual treatment for gall stones is to surgically remove the gallbladder. If the patient is not a good candidate for surgery, the doctor may prescribe medications to dissolve cholestrol gall stones, but the medications may take years to completely dissolve the stones.
Treatment for gall bladder cancer may also involve surgery.

∙ 15y agoWhen should the gallbladder be removed?
Many doctors recommend gallbladder removal if you have had only one attack. Others will do so if you have repeated attacks. Some will do so if you have stones; others will say unless you are having attacks with the stones you can leave it. This is a place to get a second opinion and above all, to educate yourself; read all you can.
If your doctor finds that you have an infected gallbladder it will almost certainly have to come out. If it bursts you are in similar danger as with a burst appendix. Infection is then lose in the peritoneal cavity. This is like an explosion of infection from a place of contaiment to the body at large and is difficult to clean up.
If you have a motility problem or a problem with gallbladder contraction (see biliary dyskinesia under gallbladder diseases) gallbladder surgery is also recommended. If you are bound and determined to keep your gallbladder even with this problem, call me for suggestions. And please take the biliary dyskinesia survey for a study I am doing

∙ 9y agoWhen your gallbladder is removed it means that there is no storage for bile made from the liver. Bile is a chemical fluid that breaks down fat globules into tiny droplets so it can be digested better. Therefore removing the gall bladder means that you must have a controlled fat diet.
