The signs of a gallbladder perforation (rupture) are:
increasing abdominal pain or increasing pain under right rib cage
increasing "referred" pain (usually felt in the right shoulder
high fever
rigors (stiffening of muscles) with rebound tenderness
jaundice (yellow skin and eyes) IF gallstones are involved causing a blockage

If a perforation does occur, you face even more dangers such as peritonitis which can lead to death.

If you have gallbladder issues and surgery has been recommended, please follow through. A perforation only occurs when gallbladder disease remains untreated. Perforation is totally preventable.
