A cholecystectomy (koh-luh-sis-TEK-tuh-me) is a surgical procedure to remove your gallbladder — a pear-shaped organ that sits just below your liver on the upper right side of your abdomen. Your gallbladder collects and stores bile — a digestive fluid produced in your liver.Sep 18, 2021

A cholecystectomy is surgery to remove your gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ under your liver. It is on the upper right side of your belly or abdomen. The gallbladder stores a digestive juice called bile which is made in the liver.
Cholangiography means looking at the structure of the bile ducts and gallbladder. It can help to find the size of a gallbladder cancer and whether it has spread.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder. It helps people when gallstones cause inflammation, pain or infection. The surgery involves a few small incisions, and most people go home the same day and soon return to normal activities.Jan 19, 2021
K80.5 (calculus of bile duct without cholangitis or cholecystitis) K80.50 (calculus of bile duct without cholangitis or cholecystitis without obstruction) K80 .51 (calculus of bile duct without cholangitis or cholecystitis with obstruction)
Cholecystitis requires hospitalization. Treatment for acute cholecystitis is removal of the gallbladder or cholecystectomy. If there is a low risk of complications, the surgery is usually done as an outpatient procedure.
Surgeons should be aware that an unlisted procedure requires documentation that provides relevant information, including a proper definition/description of the nature, extent, and need for the procedure, and the time, effort, and equipment necessary to provide the service.
The physician’s operative report should include everything done to care for the patient. An article in the June 1, 2016 Bulletin of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) cautions that medical coding service providers should read the physician’s operative report carefully to identify all valid diagnoses, or else it would lead to loss of revenue for the physician. The following example is given to illustrate this:
K80.61 (calculus of gallbladder and bile duct with cholecystitis, unspecified, with obstruction) K80.62 (calculus of gallbladder and bile duct with acute cholecystitis without obstruction) K80.63 (calculus of gallbladder and bile duct with acute cholecystitis with obstruction)
Removal of the gall bladder will allow the bile to flow directly into the small intestine from the liver.
The primary treatment for gallstones that cause pain, inflammation, or infection is cholecystectomy or removal of the gallbladder. Today, gallbladder removal is done laparoscopically without requiring a large abdominal incision.
