Frequently asked questions
Can I live without a gallbladder?
Yes. The gallbladder stores bile but does not produce it. After surgery, bile flows directly from the liver to the intestine and digestion adapts quickly. The vast majority of patients lead a completely normal life.
How long does the surgery take?
Usually between 40 and 90 minutes, depending on the degree of inflammation and each patient's condition.
When can I go back to work?
For office work, usually within 5 to 7 days. For physically demanding jobs, 2 to 3 weeks. I will give you precise guidance for your case.
What if my gallbladder is already very inflamed?
Acute cholecystitis can also be resolved laparoscopically in experienced hands. The sooner it is treated, the simpler and safer the surgery.
