Speak With a Doctor About Gallstones

Learn about gallstones and gallbladder removal surgery in Casper, WY

If you're experiencing symptoms like sharp abdominal pain, nausea and indigestion, you may have gallstones. Start by consulting your primary care doctor about these issues. If they conclude that gallstones are behind your symptoms, they may suggest contacting a surgeon for gallbladder removal surgery.

What can you expect during a gallbladder removal?

Gallbladder surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that typically takes just a few hours. During the operation, your surgeon will make several small incisions in your abdomen. Through those incisions, we'll use a tiny video camera and specialized tools to look at and remove your gallbladder. After the procedure, patients can usually get back to their normal routine in about two weeks.
