Cholecystectomy
Cholecystectomy (; plural: cholecystectomies) is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. It is the most common method for treating symptomatic gallstones. Surgical options include the standard procedure, called laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and an older more invasive procedure, called open cholecystectomy.

****** HELP ******
Some patients continue to complain of right hypochondrial pain, flatulence, indigestion and intolerance to fatty food after cholecystectomy, despite a normal radiological appearance of the biliary tree. In vast majority of these patients the origional diagnosis was incorrect and the patients was suffering from functional bowl disease, the gallstones being an incidental finding. The occurance of severe pain with jaundice or abnormal liver biochemistry suggests a retained stone in the common bile duct and this can usually be confirmed by ultrasound.
Pain has been attributed to dysfunction of the sphinter of Oddi, but, even with manometry, this is defficult to substantiate, and sphinterotomy is not usually justified.
