Symptomatic Gallstones
Acute Cholecystitis
Acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) occurs when the gallstone blocking the opening to the bile duct does not release and the gallbladder remains obstructed. In this situation, symptoms do not resolve, and most people will find themselves in the emergency room or their doctor’s office, and then the operating room for gallstone or gallbladder surgery.
