Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. Cholecystectomy is a common treatment of symptomatic gallstones and other gallbladder conditions.^[1] In 2011, cholecystectomy was the eighth most common operating room procedure performed in hospitals in the United States.^[2] Cholecystectomy can be performed either laparoscopically, or via an open surgical technique.^[3]^{[page needed]}

The surgery is usually successful in relieving symptoms, but up to 10 percent of people may continue to experience similar symptoms after cholecystectomy, a condition called postcholecystectomy syndrome.^[4] Complications of cholecystectomy include bile duct injury, wound infection, bleeding, vasculobiliary injury, retained gallstones, liver abscess formation and stenosis (narrowing) of the bile duct.^[5]^[4]
