The gallbladder, most often, becomes blocked or in½amed due to the formation of gallstones that are too large for the gallbladder to pass naturally. As the amountof gallstones increases, the patient will begin to experience greater pain, and increasingly aggravated symptoms until the stones are broken up, or the gallbladder is removed.
Our general surgeons perform both open gallbladder removal surgery and minimally invasivelaparoscopic gallbladder surgery in Nashvilleand the Greater Nashville Area.
