Gallbladder removal surgery, or cholecystectomy, is a commonly performed surgical procedure. Post operative recovery may vary based on individual factors and the type of procedure performed (laparoscopic vs. open surgery).
Common side effects after gallbladder surgery can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, bloating, gas, and changes in bowel movements. These typically resolve within a few weeks.
Although rare, complications can occur, including bile leakage, bile duct injury, bleeding, infection, deep vein thrombosis, or a reaction to anaesthesia.
Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience severe abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), persistent vomiting, a high fever, or if their surgical wounds become red, swollen, or start discharging.
Following gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy), a post operative care plan can help guide recovery and ensure optimal healing.
Remember, this is a general care plan. You should follow your surgeon or healthcare provider's specific instructions, as they know your situation best. Always contact your healthcare provider with any concerns or questions during your recovery.
