The gallbladder is a small pouch that rests under the liver. It stores bile the liver produces until needed to assist with digestion. Occasionally the bile can form solid stones (gallstones) which may lead to no symptoms in some cases, but pain and nausea with eating in others. Gallbladder surgery is a common outpatient procedure performed by Dr. Leithead that can help resolve your symptoms and get you feeling great again. Minimally invasive cholecystectomy may be performed laparoscopically or robotically to provide patients with minimal discomfort, risk of infection, and downtime.
Please contact Dr. Leithead for more information.
