Does having gallbladder removed increase risk of colon cancer? or does gallbladder removal cause colon cancer?

Mild link: One study showed increase in the incidence of colon cancer, not rectal cancer, in people who had gall bladder removed; however; this should not be a reason to not have your gall bladder removed if otherwise indicated due to gall bladder disease.

Gallbladder: No not at all if you need your gallbladder out then do it because the risk of gallbladder disease far far outweighs any slight theoretical risk of colon cancer.
