benefits of gallbladder surgery
The benefits of gallbladder surgery are numerous.
Your gallbladder could be tiny but it can also cause major problems. The organ stores bile which is a substance made by the liver which is used by your body to digest fats in your diet.
The gallbladder could also become damaged, a term that covers a variety of issues including gallstones inflammation, blockages or inflammation. If these issues arise they may cause a range of discomforts that include:
- Acute pain in the upper middle or right side of the abdomen.
- The pain can spread from the upper abdomen all the way to the shoulder to right or even back
- Feeling of completeness
- A rapid heartbeat, and a sudden decrease in blood pressure
- Jaundice, or the yellowing of the whites and skin of the eyes.
- Dark urine or light stools
- Nausea and vomiting
- Chest and fever
However, gallbladder problems can develop into a regular problem. If you suffer from gallstones it is possible to damage the gallbladder, liver or bile ducts. These is the part of the bile ducts connecting the organs.
Gallbladder Doctor in Kolkata, Dr. Azhar Alam uses both laparoscopic as well as traditional surgical techniques for gallbladder surgeries. Here are some advantages to having this surgery if you suffer from gallbladder diseases.
Reduces inflammation
Gallbladder inflammation — also known as cholecystitis is usually caused by a blockage of the in the bile or duct. If digestive fluids aren’t able to exit the gallbladder, it triggers inflammation that could lead to severe and sometimes life-threatening issues, for example, a ruptured gallbladder.
The primary cause of gallbladder pain is gallstones. Approximately 1 and 3 percent of those suffering from the condition suffer from cholecystitis. Other causes of gallbladder inflammation are:
- Tumors
- Scarring in a bile duct
- Certain viruses, like AIDS
- Blood vessels damaged by injury
Gallbladder surgery eliminates the organ and, in turn, will end inflammation.
Eliminates pain
One of the most prominent signs of gallbladder problems is extreme pain that is sudden and intense in the event that gallstones have been found. Gallstones range in size, from one grain of sand to the size of a golf ball. There is the possibility of having several or one simultaneously.
Gallbladder problems are often triggered when gallstones get stuck in the bile duct into the stomach, preventing the flow of bile, creating a spasm in the gallbladder. The pain may be intense and feel as if you’ve been cut by an axe. In certain cases it may even be confused with an attack on the heart.
When a gallbladder attack starts it may last for days or hours and nothing will prevent it from happening until the gallstone is gone. But, surgically eliminating the gallbladder can stop the pain and avoid recurrence.
Eliminates gallstones
Gallstones are a prevalent issue nowadays due to the high amount of processed and fatty food.
Two types of stones may form within the gallbladder, pigment stones and cholesterol stones. Cholesterol gallstones tend to be the most frequent, and mostly contain undissolved cholesterol. The pigment stones on other hand, arise from bilirubin which is a pigment produced by red blood cells breaking down.
It isn’t known precisely why gallstones begin to form, but they could be caused by a number of causes, including:
- Cholesterol levels that are high in your Bile
- You have too much bilirubin within your system
- A gallbladder that’s not emptying correctly
It is possible to, theoretically lower the risk of developing gallbladder diseases by keeping an appropriate weight and not skipping meals and eating a diet that is rich in fiber and fruits, vegetables along with whole-grains. If you are looking to shed weight, you should focus on the slow approach to losing weight of about 1-2 pounds per week, as rapid weight loss can make you more susceptible to creating gallstones. Be aware, however, that just because you adhere to these guidelines, there’s the possibility that you could form gallstones.
Once you’ve got gallstones there’s no treatment or diet modification you could do to effectively eliminate the stones. This means that you’ll probably require gallbladder surgery in order to treat the issue. It is good news that once the gallbladder is removed it is not necessary to suffer from gallstones.
