What is Gallbladder Cancer Surgery?

Gallbladder Cancer Surgery is a specialized procedure to remove cancerous tumors in the gallbladder, a small organ beneath the liver that stores bile. Depending on the cancer’s stage and spread, surgery may aim for a cure (removing all visible tumors) or palliation (relieving symptoms and improving quality of life). Gallbladder cancer, often detected late due to subtle symptoms, requires specialized surgical expertise. At Liver Surgeons, Delhi’s premier center for gallbladder cancer surgery, we offer the following:

  • Curative Surgery: For early-stage tumors (T1/T2).
  • Palliative Care: Relieves symptoms in advanced cases (jaundice, pain).
  • Cholangiocarcinoma Surgery: Resection of bile duct tumors linked to gallbladder cancer.

Gallbladder Cancer FAQs

Early signs are vague (bloating, indigestion). Later stages cause jaundice, weight loss, and abdominal pain.

Imaging (CT/MRI) and biopsy confirm the diagnosis. Laparoscopy assesses spread.

Yes. We recommend 3-monthly CT scans for 2 years, then annually.

For early-stage tumors (T1b/T2), laparoscopy is safe and reduces recovery time to 2–3 weeks.

No. Radical cholecystectomy removes additional tissues to prevent recurrence.

2–3 weeks for minimally invasive; 6–8 weeks for open surgery.

Rarely, but palliative surgery in Delhi improves quality of life significantly.

Life expectancy depends on the cancer stage. Early-stage patients (T1/T2) who undergo radical cholecystectomy can reach a 5-year survival rate of up to 75%, while advanced-stage cases benefit from palliative care that improves comfort and extends quality of life.
