Gallbladder surgery
The gallbladder is removed when stones and symptoms make observation the weaker plan. Stones without symptoms are not automatically an operation.
Who it is discussed for
Gallbladder surgery is considered when symptoms, imaging and the person’s other conditions point to an operation rather than continued observation. The decision is individual.
What is explained
For Gallbladder surgery, the surgeon explains whether the operation is open or minimal access, what is removed or repaired, and what is left in place. The route is chosen for the person, not copied from a brochure.
Anaesthesia
Anaesthesia is general or sedation according to the operation and the person. An anaesthetist decides. Local anaesthesia is not assumed.
Stay
A monitored stay is usual. The number of nights is individual. It is not a package length.
Recovery
The first days are spent near the surgical team. Swelling and limits on activity are expected. The result is not judged in the first weeks.
Return travel
The day of a flight is a medical decision, not a holiday date. Oncora does not promise a fixed day of departure. Airports in use are the ones recorded in the organisation settings.
Risks
Bleeding, infection, clots, poor wound healing, anaesthesia events and a result that differs from the hope are among the risks. The list for a person is longer and is given in consultation. This page is not that list.
