Gallbladder Surgery

There are many types of gallbladder surgery. Some procedures leave the gallbladder intact while removing gallstones that cause pain and discomfort, while others remove the organ entirely.  A cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. This is generally the treatment of choice since it can be performed without any significant complications, but there are several surgical options that can help patients overcome gallbladder disease. Dr. Clark takes an individualized approach to each patient’s medical needs, ensuring that they get the best treatment available.
