What does the medical abbreviation GB surgery mean?

The medical abbreviation GB surgery stands for gallbladder surgery. It is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, a small organ located under the liver that stores and releases bile to help digest fats. Gallbladder surgery is typically performed when the gallbladder is diseased or damaged, such as in cases of gallstones, inflammation, or infection. The procedure can be done laparoscopically (through small incisions in the abdomen) or through open surgery (through a larger incision in the abdomen).
