Cholecystectomy

cholecystectomy-gall-bladder-removal-in-mexicoCholecystectomy or gall bladder removal is performed to get rid of gallstones. Gallstones can be asymptomatic in some cases, but it is common to find people suffering from intense pain due to their presence. Sadly, this procedure can be very expensive, and some suffer through the pain because they cannot afford the surgery.

According to the National Institutes of Health, some of the symptoms for gallstones are epigastric pain (usually in the right and/or middle area of the belly), indigestion, nausea, and vomiting. Now, patients do not have to suffer through the discomfort that gall stones cause, only because they cannot afford it in their home countries.
