The gall bladder lies underneath the liver in the upper part of the abdominal cavity and helps in digestive activities. This organ is the store house for bile secreted by the liver. Bile is to a large extent responsible in breaking down the food eaten and helps in fat absorption. The extra bile made by the liver also keeps collecting in the gall bladder. Whenever the person eats a fatty meal, the gall bladder is prompted into action and it releases the stored bile into the small intestine and is used for food digestion.
The bile juice that collects in the gall bladder becomes very thick sometimes and this can form hard rough stones that can block the bile duct. Ideally the gall bladder needs to empty itself periodically but any defect or problem can cause the bile juice to collect and grains or stones to form.
The problem needs attention if the person experiences acute pain because of the gallstones. On the other hand, the gallbladder can lie silently in the abdominal cavity for a lifetime without causing any discomfort or suffering. In case a nagging pain is triggered and the person feels nauseated at the same time, it’s time to head to a doctor right away! The gall bladder often develops hard substances that sometimes get into the bile duct and block its flow. If the pain and discomfort becomes chronic the gall bladder needs to be removed.
These gall stones can be of different sizes and block the bilary duct causing infections. The gall bladder swells and inflames and becomes tender to touch. This can cause loads of pain, inflammation and irritation in the gall bladder and its surrounding region.
Other symptoms include:
1) Sharp acute pain in abdomen
2) Indigestion
3) Bloating
4) Heartburn
5) Nausea
6) Vomiting
7) Gas and acidity
8) Yellowish skin and eyes
9) Fever
There is no point in suffering from pain and agony, it’s better to take a physician’s consultation and get the gall bladder removed by laparoscopic gall bladder surgery. Gall bladder helps in digestion but if a problem arises and it has to be removed with gallbladder surgery in Milton Keynes. Surgery is the best option if the gall bladder is sore, aching and irritated.
General anaesthesia is used during both open and laparoscopic gall bladder surgery. Anaesthesia numbs the body and no pain will be felt during the operation. In the laparoscopic surgery, the belly is expanded with gas so that the area can be seen clearly. The surgeon makes small miniscule cuts and incisions in the abdominal area and a thin tube called the laparoscope with the camera is inserted inside the abdomen through a cut and then when the problem is spotted the gall bladder is taken out.
After the gallbladder surgery in Milton Keynes is done, staples, glue, surgical tape or stitches will be used to suture the area. When the wound heals scars will disappear. Normally people opt for laparoscopic surgeries but those who have anatomical complications, scar tissues and abdominal surgeries may have to go through open surgery.
