Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cholecystectomy is an ablative surgery, which means it involves the removal of the gallbladder. The purpose of the surgery is to relieve symptoms related to gallstones or other gallbladder-related problems. It is not a diagnostic procedure, as the diagnosis would have already been made through imaging studies or other tests. It is not a palliative or constructive surgery either, as it is not meant to provide comfort or improve function of an organ/system.
