Does Infected Gallbladder Infects Liver Or Pancreas?
Okay I will ask again. Could not access with password the site. I had my gallbladder out last Tuesday. Scan showed it was infected with thickening of the wall. Doctor said it was the worse infected gallbladder he had ever seen. Said it was chronic. Do they check the gallbladder after they remove it for cancer? Could the infected gallbladder infected my liver or pancreatis?

Hello
Yes, any resected gall bladder is sent to pathology for an examination and any cancer would have been reported.
Unless the infected gall bladder ruptures, the infection can't spread to the liver or pancreas
