While other organs in the body are considered vital for survival, such as the heart or the lungs, the gallbladder is not essential for life. If someone experiences recurrent or severe gallstone-related issues, doctors may recommend surgical removal of the gallbladder, a procedure known as cholecystectomy. Fortunately, most people can lead a normal, healthy life without their gallbladder. After its removal, bile flows directly from the liver to the small intestine instead of being stored and concentrated in the gallbladder.
