Post Gallbladder Surgery

6802554?1302119716
Hello everyone I just had my gallbladder removed and the doctor that did the surgery did not explain much about how the surgery went.  The only thing he told me was that it was tough to get the gallbladder out and it was inflamed.  If anyone can look at these pictures he gave me of my gallbladder during the surgery and give me some information about how my gallbladder really was i would really appreciate it.  Thanks

The gallbladder's wall becomes inflamed. Extreme cases may result in necrosis and rupture. Inflammation often spreads to its outer covering, thus irritating surrounding structures such as the diaphragm and bowel. In cases of severe inflammation, shock, or if the patient has higher risk for general anesthesia (required for cholecystectomy), the managing physician may elect to have an interventional radiologist insert a percutaneous drainage catheter into the gallbladder ('percutaneous cholecystostomy tube') and treat the patient with antibiotics until the acute inflammation resolves. A cholecystectomy may then be warranted if the patient's condition improves.
