1. cholecystectomy

   A cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, often due to the presence of gallstones, inflammation, or cancer. The gallbladder is a small organ located below the liver that stores bile, a fluid produced by the liver to aid in digestion. There are two types of cholecystectomy: open and laparoscopic. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common method and is less invasive than an open procedure.
