Understanding Gallbladder Surgery
When gallstones, inflammation, or digestive discomfort begin to interfere with your daily life, surgical care may provide the relief you need. At Orlando Minimally Invasive Surgery (OMIS), our board-certified surgeons specialize in gallbladder surgery, offering safe and effective treatment to restore comfort and digestive health.
Our mission is to ensure every patient receives expert care, personalized attention, and a smooth recovery experience from start to finish.
What Is Gallbladder Surgery?
Gallbladder surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, involves removing the gallbladder—a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile used for digestion. Surgery may be necessary when gallstones or inflammation block bile flow or cause pain.
Common conditions treated with gallbladder surgery include:
- Gallstones (cholelithiasis)
- Gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis)
- Bile duct obstruction
- Gallstone pancreatitis
- Biliary dyskinesia (poor gallbladder function)
Removing the gallbladder typically eliminates symptoms and prevents future complications, allowing patients to resume normal digestion and daily activities.
Signs You May Need Gallbladder Surgery
If you experience any of the following, you may benefit from surgical evaluation:
- Persistent pain in the upper right abdomen
- Nausea or vomiting after meals
- Bloating, indigestion, or intolerance to fatty foods
- Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes)
- Fever or chills associated with abdominal pain
Our experienced team conducts comprehensive evaluations—including imaging and laboratory tests—to confirm diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

What to Expect from Gallbladder Surgery
Gallbladder removal is one of the most common general surgery procedures performed today. At OMIS, every operation is planned carefully with your safety and comfort in mind. Most patients go home the same day or after a short observation period and return to light activity within one to two weeks.
Your body will continue to digest food normally after surgery; bile simply flows directly from the liver to the small intestine instead of being stored in the gallbladder.
