Gallstone (Cholelithiasis) Symptoms and Causes
Gallstones (also called cholelithiasis) form when there is an imbalance in the composition of bile in the gallbladder. Gallstones are quite common, affecting around 25 million people in the United States.
An Overview of Biliary Colic
Biliary colic is a type of abdominal pain caused by a temporary blockage in the ducts leading out from the gallbladder.
What Is an Epigastric Hernia?
An epigastric hernia occurs when an abdominal muscle weakness allows the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity) and abdominal fat tissue to push through the muscle wall.
What is a hernia and what is component separation?
Hernias are relatively common health issues that often require surgery to repair. Information below addresses basic information about hernias and common questions about treatment. Some hernias are so large (10 or more centimeters) or have such weak surrounding tissues that we cannot get the surrounding tissues back together; the muscles are too tight to bring them to meet in the middle of the abdomen.
Potential Issues After Gallbladder Surgery
Long-term effects of gallbladder removal include diarrhea, fatty food intolerance, gas, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, and intermittent episodes of abdominal pain.
