Trusted Gall Bladder Surgery Malaysia

Gall Bladder Surgery (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy)

At Bariatric Surgery Malaysia, we specialize in gall bladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy) β€” a highly effective treatment for gallstones, cholecystitis, and chronic digestive discomfort. Our experienced surgical team offers both laparoscopic (minimally invasive) and open gall bladder procedures to ensure safe, precise outcomes for all patients.

Why You Might Need Gall Bladder Surgery

The gall bladder stores bile, a digestive fluid that helps break down fat. If gallstones form or inflammation occurs, they can block bile flow, causing:

  • Sharp upper abdominal pain

  • Bloating or indigestion

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Jaundice or fever (in severe cases)

These symptoms often indicate cholecystitis, biliary colic, or gallstone pancreatitis, which require medical intervention. Surgery is often the most effective and permanent solution.
