Why the gallbladder causes trouble
The gallbladder is a small sac under the liver where bile, needed to digest fats, is concentrated. If gallstones form inside it, they can block the outflow of bile and trigger a typical biliary colic – cramping pain under the right rib cage, often after a fatty meal, with nausea or vomiting.
Stones cannot be reliably removed with medication, and the problems usually return. For recurrent colic or after gallbladder inflammation, the standard and definitive solution is laparoscopic gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) – a gentle procedure through small incisions, after which the body carries on perfectly well without a gallbladder.
