What is cholecystitis surgery?

Cholecystitis surgery is a surgical procedure to treat cholecystitis.

Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. If conservative treatment fails or complex conditions occur, cholecystitis surgery may be considered. There are two main methods of cholecystitis surgery, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy and open cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic surgery has the advantages of less trauma, faster recovery, less pain after surgery, and a relatively short hospital stay. Open surgery is more traumatic to patients, requiring longer recovery time and hospitalization after surgery, which is suitable for gallbladder suppuration, gallbladder perforation, etc.

It is recommended that patients with cholecystitis should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time, and choose appropriate treatment methods according to the severity of the disease.
