Cholecystectomy Cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove your gall bladder. This is a pear-shaped organ that sits just below your liver in the upper right side of your abdomen. It is an organ that stores bile, a digestive enzyme produced by the liver. Indications of gall bladder removal include: Cholecystitis or inflammation of the gall bladder usually associated with stones. Pancreatitis- inflammation of the pancreatic gland caused frequently by the passage of stones or sludge down the common bile duct (CBD). Obstructive Jaundice – increase in bilirubin due to obstruction of the flow of bile down the CBD. Biliary colic – pain caused frequently by stone traversing the CBD. Surgery is done principally after the CBD has been cleared of stones. Gallbladder polyps.
