Are there any physical effects after cholecystectomy?

  Bile is produced by the liver, not by the gallbladder, which aids in the digestion and absorption of food, and the gallbladder is the place where the body stores and concentrates bile. The removal of the gallbladder may affect the body’s digestion of fatty foods, but, on the other hand, for a gallbladder that has become diseased, it has lost its original physiological function, i.e. it no longer has a significant effect on digestion, due to the disease present in its gallbladder itself. On the contrary, the presence of the disease leads to digestive dysfunction, and after removal of this type of gallbladder, on the contrary, the elimination of the disease can lead to a significant recovery of digestive function.  In addition, after gallbladder removal, the bile ducts will be compensatingly thickened and the bile ducts will often discharge bile into the duodenum to compensate for the loss of the gallbladder’s function of storing and concentrating bile and not to affect the digestion and absorption of fat, so postoperative patients do not need to excessively avoid eating meat. Of course, some patients have short-term indigestion, but after a period of adaptation and compensatory adjustment, the symptoms will gradually disappear. It is important to pay attention to the fact that there must be a transition when the diet after cholecystectomy is restored from a lighter diet that is easy to digest to a regular diet, and the process of gradual progress must be followed, so that it cannot be restored to a normal diet at once. Diarrhea may appear, and then it may be more troublesome to adjust. It was once reported that gallbladder removal may increase the incidence of colon cancer, but it was later found that there is no definite relationship between the occurrence of colon cancer and gallbladder removal, which means that there is no clear basis for the increase in the incidence of colon cancer caused by gallbladder gallbladder removal.  To sum up, if there are clear indications for surgery, gallbladder stones and gallbladder polyps should be operated, according to the judgment of hepatobiliary surgeons.
