Gall Bladder Stone Removal Surgery

If you're experiencing symptoms of gallstones, it may be time to consider gallbladder stone removal surgery. At Livasa Hospital, located in Mohali, we specialize in advanced laparoscopic techniques to ensure a safe and swift recovery. Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in your gallbladder, leading to pain and potential complications if not treated effectively.


Signs and Symptoms Indicating the Need for Gallbladder Stone Removal

Gallstones might not always cause symptoms. However, when a gallstone lodges in a duct and causes a blockage, it can lead to symptoms such as:

  • Intense pain in the right upper abdomen that can extend to the back or right shoulder
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Fever and chills if infection is present
  • Jaundice, indicating a blockage in your bile duct
  • Bloating or indigestion

If you experience these symptoms, seeking medical evaluation is crucial. Our specialists at Livasa Hospital can provide a comprehensive diagnosis to determine if gallbladder stone removal is necessary.


Factors That Cause Gallstone Symptoms

Gallstones form when your bile contains too much cholesterol or bilirubin, or the gallbladder doesn’t empty efficiently. Factors contributing to this include:

  • Obesity, which increases the amount of cholesterol in the bile
  • Lack of exercise, impacting the metabolism and digestive processes
  • High-fat and low-fiber diet, which affects bile composition
  • Rapid weight loss, which causes the liver to excrete extra cholesterol
  • Certain medical conditions, like cirrhosis or blood disorders

By understanding these factors, patients at Livasa Hospital can manage their health more effectively and reduce the risk of developing gallstones.


Types of Gallstone Surgery Available

Procedure Type Benefits Recovery Time
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Minimally invasive, short hospital stay, faster recovery 2-3 days
Open Cholecystectomy Preferred for severe inflammation or infection 1-2 weeks

At Livasa Hospital, we typically recommend laparoscopic gallstone surgery, known for its minimal scarring and quick recovery. However, in certain complex cases, an open surgery might be necessary.
