Gallstones are hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder and can lead to sudden pain, nausea, and digestive issues. If they block the bile ducts, they may cause serious complications that require medical or surgical treatment. In many cases, removing the gallbladder through minimally invasive surgery offers long-term relief. Understanding your treatment options, how to prepare, and what recovery looks like can help you make informed decisions about your care.
