There are cases where Gallstones (tiny rock-like structures) get deposited inside an individual's gallbladder. Many people in Los Angeles suffer from this condition and require surgery.
Thanks to advancements in medical science, gallbladder surgery is now performed utilizing the least invasive method. As a result, the risks associated with the surgery are minimal.
Today gallstone removal surgery is carried out laparoscopically. Only a small incision scar near the belly button is visible on the patient’s body after the surgery.
It may sound intimidating to get gallstones or gallbladder removal surgery, but rest assured such surgeries typically have no adverse impact.
In most cases, gallbladder surgery is carried out quickly and safely. Moreover, the patient can leave the premises shortly after the surgery is completed.

In typical cases, bile carries chemicals that can help to dissolve cholesterol excreted by the person's liver. However, if the liver starts secreting more cholesterol, it becomes increasingly difficult for the bile to dissolve. The excess cholesterol settles and begins to crystalize, eventually forming stones.
Bilirubin is produced when red blood cells break down. There are many conditions where the liver starts making excessive bilirubin, including:
In short, excess bilirubin plays a vital role in forming gallstones.

In such cases, the secreted bile gets concentrated, resulting in the formation of stones.
