What is Gallbladder Stone Surgery?
Your treatment plan starts with a focused consultation and a careful clinical examination. If imaging or tests are needed, we coordinate the next steps so you get clarity on the diagnosis and the safest procedure options.
Whenever suitable, we recommend minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques to reduce tissue trauma, support comfort, and help you return to daily activities with a structured recovery plan.
At Sharvari Hospital, you also get practical recovery instructions for diet, activity, wound care, and warning signs. If you have questions about timing, cost, insurance, or EMI options, our team helps you understand your plan clearly.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy removes the gallbladder through small abdominal ports using camera guidance. Indications include symptomatic gallstones, biliary colic, cholecystitis, polyps with risk features, and some bile duct situations staged with endoscopy. Single-incision or reduced-port variations exist for suitable anatomy. Post-operative diet usually advances from liquids to low-fat regular meals while the liver adapts bile routing. Most patients mobilise the same day; heavy lifting waits until surgeons review wound healing. Medical clearance optimises diabetes, blood pressure, and anticoagulants before theatre.

Surgery Kab Zaroori Hoti Hai?
इस शॉर्ट में Dr. Kundan Kharde बताते हैं कि gallbladder stone में सिर्फ़ दवा कब काफ़ी नहीं होती और सर्जरी कब ज़रूरी हो जाती है — बार-बार दर्द उठने, इन्फेक्शन या ब्लॉकेज जैसी स्थितियों में laparoscopic surgery ही स्थायी इलाज मानी जाती है। हर मरीज़ की स्थिति और रिकवरी अलग होती है — results vary.
