The profile of Gallbladder stones


This is a typical specimen of an inflamed gallbladder packed with pigmented cholesterol gallstones removed from a patient who has been suffering from typical Acute Cholecystitis.

The typical symptoms of Acute Cholecystitis are;

- acute upper abdominal pain after taking foods rich in fats

- nausea

- vomiting

- bloated abdomen after eating

- fever

- sharp pain with breathing

The inflamed gallbladder above was removed by Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is the Gold Standard for the treatment of any diseased gallbladder
