Diet after removal of the gallbladder( cholecystectomy) - proper nutrition

The gallbladder is one of the most problematic organs of the human body. Cholecystectomy takes the second place according to the frequency of execution after removal of appendicitis. Fatty food, rich in carbohydrates, often leads to the development of cholelithiasis, which is accompanied by a decrease in the amount of fiber in the nutritional diet. This, in turn, leads to hypodynamia and obesity.

Modern technology allows you to conduct cholecystectomy without incisions or with a minimal amount of them. Laparoscopic equipment is available in every hospital. The patient is under general anesthesia during the operation. Rehabilitation and postoperative periods depend on the nature of the operation performed, the degree of development of the disease, the general condition of the patient, the presence of complications and other diseases.

Laparoscopes leave only traces of punctures on the patient's body, not scary scars. Thanks to advanced technologies, patients recover faster, the body regains more quickly than after a normal operation.
