About the Gallbladder and Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery

The gallbladder is found below the liver and its purpose is to store bile that your liver produces to assist in fat digestion. When the flow of bile from the gallbladder is obstructed, gallbladder disease frequently develops. Symptoms of gallbladder disease include nausea, fever, abdominal pain and other symptoms. During minimally invasive gallbladder surgery (Laparoscopic), a thin tube is attached to a tiny camera and then inserted into a tiny incision. The laparoscope provides a clear view of your internal organs and then special tools are inserted through additional small incisions and utilized to remove the gallbladder. The laparoscopic procedure is used on close to 80% of cases. Dr. Rimmer, your laparoscopic gallbladder surgery specialist near West Palm Beach, Florida routinely performs this innovative, minimally invasive technique which minimizes the chance of postoperative issues and also decreases postoperative pain.
