My 76 year old husband was hospitalized with severe right side pain. CT scan showed that he had an extended gallbadder. He also has a blood clot in his right lung. No stones identified. Can you tell me more about this extended gallbladder. Thanks, Patsy Darter

Gallbladder surgery.
Yes we can. Removal of the gallbladder does not mean the patient cannot continue to have a normal life. However - a change in diet to a low-fat alternative would be advisable - as the bile produced by the gallbladder is used to process fat in our diet.
Cholecystecomy is just a fancy medical word meaning "surgical removal of the gallbladder." A patient with a history of a cholecystecomy no longer has a gallbladder.
It may mean you have something wrong with you gallbladder I would call your Dr.!
"Grossly unremarkable gallbladder" means that upon visual inspection during a medical procedure such as an ultrasound or surgery, the gallbladder appears normal with no obvious signs of disease or abnormalities.
it's the removal of a gallstone using an incision inside the gallbladder
There is no artificial gallbladder that can act as a replacement for the human gallbladder.
Everyone has a gallbladder unless it has been surgically removed, but if you mean can it detect a gallbladder problem, no it can't. A pregnancy test detects a hormone only produced during pregnancy by an embedded embryo so nothing else can mimic it.
were is your gallbladder in your body
The gallbladder is attached to the bile duct by a small tube called the cystic duct
Gallstones cause pain and blockage in the gallbladder. More rarely, a person can get cancer of the gallbladder, but this is very rare.
