Gall bladder removal, or cholecystectomy, is a complex abdominal surgery performed to treat conditions such as gallstones, mucocele, or gallbladder rupture. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, our experienced surgical team utilizes advanced imaging and laparotomy techniques to diagnose and treat these serious conditions promptly.
Early diagnosis is critical for success. Pets with gallbladder disease often show signs such as vomiting, jaundice, or abdominal pain. Through ultrasound and blood analysis, our veterinarians can determine the need for surgery and plan the safest approach.
The procedure involves carefully isolating and removing the diseased gallbladder while preserving surrounding liver and bile ducts. Our surgeons use meticulous technique to reduce bleeding and ensure smooth postoperative recovery.
Anesthesia is managed using modern monitoring technology to maintain stable cardiovascular and respiratory function throughout the procedure. Pain control and IV support are provided before, during, and after surgery.
Following surgery, most pets recover fully with proper dietary management and follow-up care. We provide personalized postoperative plans to help your pet transition safely back to normal activity.
As one of Pennsylvania’s trusted veterinary surgical centers, Animal Surgical Care of PA is dedicated to delivering lifesaving gallbladder surgery with compassion and precision.
