Yes, one can have a perfectly everyday life without a gallbladder. Your liver will still produce enough bile even without a gallbladder, but instead of bile being stored in the gallbladder, it will drip bile straight into the small intestine. Hence, most foods can still be digested, but oily or high-fibre food becomes harder to digest at times, resulting in gas, bloating, or diarrhoea.
Yes, gallstones can be removed without removing the gallbladder. Certain medications help to dissolve stones if the size is small. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure wherein the gallbladder is not removed; instead, any stones in the common bile duct (CBD) are removed using an endoscope.
The risk of having gallstones is higher in pregnant females due to elevated hormones. If a gallstone is detected incidentally while doing an ultrasound, then one should not rush to get treated at that time. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the baby's body is under formation. Any medications or drugs needed to perform the surgery can pose a greater risk of developing congenital anomalies. If the patient has recurrent attacks & is not responding to medicines, then surgery can be performed in the second trimester as this is the safest & least risky time. During the third trimester, it is encouraged to postpone surgery until after delivery since the growing uterus can make it difficult to do surgery & even pose a risk for preterm labour.

When a gallstone blocks one of the bile ducts, it causes noticeable symptoms. Look out for the following signs, especially after eating food rich in fats and oils:
Upper abdominal pain
Nausea and vomiting
Indigestion or bloating
Pain in the back or right shoulder
Fever or jaundice
When gallstones cause persistent pain, inflammation, or complications such as infection or jaundice, surgery is often the most effective solution. The common gallstones operation options include:
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and a camera, offering faster recovery and less post-operative pain.
Open Cholecystectomy: Recommended when laparoscopic surgery is not suitable, involving a larger incision for direct removal of the gallbladder.
Laser Treatment for Gallstones: Uses high-energy lasers to break gallstones into smaller fragments for natural passage or removal, providing a less invasive alternative for select cases.
HexaHealth guides you at every step of the gallstone surgery process, from hospital selection to post-surgery follow-up.
