The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ under the liver. The liver makes about 3 to 5 cups of bile every day. Bile helps in digesting fats and is stored in the gallbladder. When fatty foods are eaten, the gallbladder squeezes bile out through the duct and into the small intestine.
Most adults with gallstones do not have symptoms. Eighty percent of people with gallstones go 20 years without symptoms. GALLSTONES ARE MORE COMMON IN PEOPLE WHO Are Native American
A cholecystectomy, or removal of the the gallbladder is the recommended operation for gallbladder pain from gallstones.
Surgical Treatment This technique is the most common for simple cholecystectomy. The surgeon will make several small incisions in the abdomen. Ports (hollow tubes) are inserted into the openings. Surgical tools and a lighted camera are placed into the ports. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas to make it easier to see the internal organs. The gallbladder is removed, and the port openings are closed with sutures, surgical clips, or glue. Your surgeon may start with a laparoscopic technique and need to change (convert) to an open laparotomy technique. The procedure takes about 1 to 2 hours.
A cholecystectomy, or removal of the gallbladder, is the recommended operation for gallbladder pain from gallstones. The surgeon makes an incision approximately 6 inches long in the upper right side of the abdomen and cuts through the fat and muscle to the gallbladder. The gallbladder is removed, and any ducts are clamped off. The site is stapled or sutured closed. A small drain may be placed going from the inside to the outside of the abdomen. The drain is usually removed in the hospital. The procedure takes about 1 to 2 hours.
watchful waiting is recommended if you have gallstones but do not have symptoms. About 1 in 5 newly diagnosed patients with acute cholecystitis who do not have surgery readmit to the emergency room within about 12 weeks.
Four of 100 gallbladder removals are done in children. Almost 70% of children with gallstones do have symptoms. Symptoms in children include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, fatty food intolerance, and fever. Children also receiving continuous IV nutrition and those with long-term antibiotic use, cystic fibrosis, obesity, or a family history have a higher chance of developing gallstones. Nearly 50% of all children with sickle cell disease develop gallstones and should have a screening ultrasound. Children with cholecystitis confirmed by ultrasound, those with severe pain, or those not able to take food or fluids should be evaluated for surgery.
Bring a list of all of the medications and vitamins that you are taking, including blood thinners, aspirin, or NSAIDS, and inform your surgical team. Some medications can affect your recovery and response to anesthesia and may have to be adjusted before and after surgery. Most often, you will take your morning medication with a sip of water. Resources about medications can be found at.
Let your anesthesia provider know if you have allergies, neurologic disease (epilepsy, stroke), heart disease, stomach problems, lung disease (asthma, emphysema), endocrine disease (diabetes, thyroid conditions), or loose teeth; if you smoke, drink alcohol, use drugs, or take any herbs or vitamins; or if you have a history of nausea and vomiting with anesthesia.
If you have a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, you will usually go home the same day. You may stay overnight if you had an open removal of the gallbladder, a laparoscopic repair with a longer anesthesia time, post-anesthesia issues such as severe nausea and vomiting or you are unable to pass urine
Do not eat for 4 hours or drink anything but clear liquids for at least 2 hours before the operation.
Shower and clean your abdomen and groin area with a mild antibacterial soap.
Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth out with mouthwash.
Do not shave the surgical site; your surgical team will clip the hair nearest the incision site.
If general anesthesia is given or if you are taking narcotic pain medication, it may cause you to feel different for 2 or 3 days, have difficulty with memory, or feel more fatigued. You should not drive, drink alcohol, or make any big decisions for at least 2 days.
When you wake up, you will be able to drink small amounts of liquid. If you do not feel sick, you can begin eating regular foods. Continue to drink lots of fl uids, usually about 8 to 10 glasses per day. Eat a high-fiber diet so you don’t strain during bowel movements.
Slowly increase your activity. Be sure to get up and walk every hour or so to prevent blood clots.
ContDo not lift or participate in strenuous activity for 3 to 5 days for laparoscopic and 10 to 14 days for open procedure.
You may go home in 1 to 2 days for a laparoscopic repair. If your appendix ruptured or you have other health issues or complications, you may stay longer.
It is normal to feel tired. You may need more sleep than usual.
You may usually return to work 1 week after laparoscopic or open repair, as long as you don’t do any heavy lifting. Discuss the timing with your surgeon.
Do not lift items heavier than 10 pounds or participate in strenuous activity for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
After intestinal surgery, you may have loose watery stools for several days. If watery diarrhea lasts longer than 3 days, contact your surgeon.
Pain medication (narcotics) can cause constipation. Increase the fiber in your diet with high-fiber foods if you are constipated. Your surgeon may also give you a prescription for a stool softener.
The amount of pain is different for each person. Some people need only 1 to 3 doses of pain control medication, while others need more.
The medicine you need after your operation is usually related to pain control.
Everyone reacts to pain in a different way. A scale from 0 to 10 is used to measure pain. At a “0,” you do not feel any pain. A “10” is the worst pain you have ever felt. Following a laparoscopic procedure, pain is sometimes felt in the shoulder. This is due to the gas inserted into your abdomen during the procedure. Moving and walking help to decrease the gas and the right shoulder pain
Extreme pain puts extra stress on your body at a time when your body needs to focus on healing. Do not wait until your pain has reached a level “10” or is unbearable before telling you, doctor or nurse. It is much easier to control pain before it becomes severe.
Narcotics or opioids are used for severe pain. Possible side effects of narcotics are sleepiness, lowered blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate; skin rash and itching; constipation; nausea; and difficulty urinating.
Most non-opioid analgesics are classified as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). They are used to treat mild pain and inflammation or can be combined with narcotics to treat severe pain. Possible side effects of NSAIDs are stomach upset, bleeding in the digestive tract, and fluid retention. These side effects usually are not seen with short-term use. Let your doctor know if you have heart, kidney, or liver problems. Examples of NSAIDs include ibuprofen, Motrin®, Aleve®.
Splinting your stomach by placing a pillow over your abdomen with firm pressure before coughing or movement can help reduce the pain.
Distraction helps you focus on other activities instead of your pain. Listening to music, playing games, or other engaging activities can help you cope with mild pain and anxiety. Splinting Your Stomach
Guided imagery helps you direct and control your emotions. Close your eyes and gently inhale and exhale. Picture yourself in the center of somewhere beautiful. Feel the beauty surrounding you and your emotions coming back to your control. You should feel calmer.
