Hi, Gallbladder polyps are growths that protrude from the inner lining of the gallbladder. Most polyps are benign and do not cause any symptoms, but in some cases, they can become cancerous. The treatment for gallbladder polyps depends on their size, number, and whether they are causing any symptoms. If the polyps are small (less than 1 cm) and not causing any symptoms, your doctor may recommend monitoring them through regular ultrasound examinations. If the polyps are larger or causing symptoms, such as pain, nausea, or vomiting, surgery may be required to remove them. The surgical procedure for removing gallbladder polyps is called a cholecystectomy, which is the same procedure used to remove gallstones. During the surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to visualize the gallbladder. The surgeon then removes the gallbladder, along with the polyps, using specialized instruments. In some cases, if the polyps are small and not causing any symptoms, the surgeon may be able to remove them using an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a camera and surgical instruments that are inserted through the mouth and into the stomach and small intestine. After the surgery, your doctor will provide instructions on how to care for the surgical incisions and manage any discomfort or pain. They may also recommend a special diet to follow while your body adjusts to the absence of the gallbladder. It is important to follow your doctor s instructions carefully and attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and ensure that there are no complications. Take care.
