Gallbladder removal
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi all since waiting for my gallbladder op on the 12th November I am looking around on the computer and see allot of stories one or two for example in the daily mail saying that people have died a few days later after gallbladder ops because of other organs and bile duck being damaged, really putting me off now, what does anyone think about this, due for op in Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

the reality is there is a big risk of a stone getting stuck in your bile duct and causing jaundice because you have a gallbladder full of stones..... You are more at risk now than after your operation . As basically after the op if your bile duct gets blocked it means they missed a stone lodged in it.
And when you have the operation the surgeon does state there are risks of nicking another organ but they are rare. And let's be honest if either of these things happens you would be calling an ambulance if you went yellow (jaundice ) due to blocked bile duct or in agony and feeling really unwell due to them nicking an organ . They would re operate and sort it. None of us what that scenario but if it happens it can be sorted.
I too wouldn't be too trusting of daily mail they over exaggerate and often publish apologies.
Google gallbladder removal , I found the Mayo clinic site very informative and reassuring ...
