What are gall stones?
Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in your gallbladder. Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, just beneath your liver. The gallbladder holds a digestive fluid called bile that's released into your small intestine.
How does gall stones form?
Gallstones are thought to develop because of an imbalance in the chemical make-up of bile inside the gallbladder. In most cases the levels of cholesterol in bile become too high and the excess cholesterol forms into stones. Gallstones are very common.

Risks
Complications
During the surgery of gall stones
A cholecystectomy is most commonly performed by inserting a tiny video camera and special surgical tools through four small incisions to see inside your abdomen and remove the gallbladder. Doctors call this a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In some cases, one large incision may be used to remove the gallbladder
If left untreated of gall stones
If gallstones lodge in a bile duct and cause a blockage, it eventually results in severe life-threatening complications such as bile duct inflammation and infection, pancreatitis or cholecystitis (an inflammation of gallbladder). In addition, if left untreated, it might increase risk of “gallbladder cancer”.
Prevention of gall stones
Non- surgical treatment:
Ø Thinning Bile With Acid Pills Can Dissolve Gallstones
Ø Small Gallstones Can Be Broken Apart With Shock Waves
Ø Gallstones Can Be Dissolved With an MTBE Injection
Ø Endoscopic Drainage Follows the Gallbladder’s Natural Path
Ø Percutaneous Cholecystectomy Is Best for Seriously Ill Patients
Ø Transmural Drainage Decompresses a Swollen Gallbladder
Ø Acute Cholecystectomy, an Ultrasound-Guided Drainage Procedure
Surgical treatment for gall stones
Surgeons may remove your gallbladder (called a cholecystectomy) if gallstones (or other types of gallbladder disease) are causing problems. Techniques include laparoscopic ('keyhole') cholecystectomy or open surgery. The gallbladder is not a vital organ, so your body can cope quite well without it.
Types of surgeries
A surgeon can safely remove the gallbladder with a surgical procedure called cholecystectomy. There are two types of surgery for gallstones: laparoscopic/robotic and open surgery
Preparation for gall stone surgery
What to except during the surgery
A cholecystectomy is most commonly performed by inserting a tiny video camera and special surgical tools through four small incisions to see inside your abdomen and remove the gallbladder.

You can
expect to live a perfectly normal life after gallbladder surgery but may experience temporary side effects related
to the way your digestive system processes fatty foods. These symptoms
may include loose stools or diarrhea, bloating, cramping, and excess gas in
response to meals or certain foods.
Some
people may experience yellow diarrhea or smelly poop after gallbladder removal.
The larger amounts of bile reaching the
colon may cause irritation resulting in diarrhea with a yellow hue. The
increased amounts of bile salt can also make one's bowel movements have a more
potent smell as well
Gall
bladder removal does not shorten your
life expectancy. In fact, it may even increase it as your post-surgery
habits make it necessary for you to make healthier dietary choices
Drink
plenty of water, broth, and sports drinks. But again, avoid alcohol for at least 2 days after your surgery, especially
if you're feeling the effects of anesthesia or pain meds. Low-fat foods.
Low-fat foods will be easier for you to digest and are less likely to cause
gas, bloating, or diarrhea
People
with bile duct obstruction also often experience: itching. Abdominal pain,
usually in the upper right side. Fever
or night sweats.
Caffeine and
alcohol
This can
lead to stomach pain and discomfort after having gallbladder removed. Limit or avoid these caffeinated foods and
beverages: coffee. Tea.
That's because
your liver and gallbladder are both located on the right side of your body.
Sleeping on the right side can constrict your gallbladder and can make it
harder for a gallbladder stone to pass. The
added pressure of sleeping on your right side may even make gallbladder pain
worse.
