Gall Bladder Surgery

Renowned Laparoscopic Surgeon

Specialized in Gallbladder Removal Surgery

The gallbladder is a small pouch that sits just under the liver. Gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver. After meals, the gallbladder is empty and flat, like a deflated balloon. Before a meal, the gallbladder may be full of bile and about the size of a small pear.

Gallbladder stones, also known as gallstones, are solid particles that form in the gallbladder due to an imbalance in bile composition. These stones vary in size and can cause severe pain, nausea, vomiting, and digestive issues. If left untreated, gallstones can lead to serious complications like cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation), bile duct obstruction, and pancreatitis.

Safe, Quick & Minimally Invasive Removal of the Gallbladder

Gall bladder surgery, also called Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, is the most effective treatment for gallstones, gallbladder infections, and gallbladder inflammation. Our centre specializes in minimally invasive gallbladder removal using advanced technology to ensure faster recovery, tiny scars, less pain, and a very high success rate.

What Is Gall Bladder Surgery?

Gall bladder surgery involves removing the gallbladder through small key-hole incisions using a laparoscope (camera). It is the standard and safest treatment for:

  • Gallstones
  • Gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis)
  • Gallbladder infection
  • Gallstone pancreatitis
  • Gallbladder polyps (selected cases)

Symptoms of Gallbladder Problems

You may need surgery if you experience:

  • Severe upper abdominal pain
  • Pain after eating oily/spicy food
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Bloating
  • Fever with abdominal pain
  • Jaundice (in certain complicated cases)

Benefits of Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Surgery

  • Small incisions (better cosmetic results)
  • Very less pain
  • Faster recovery
  • Minimal blood loss
  • Same-day or next-day discharge
  • Quick return to daily activities
  • High safety & success rate
  • Low risk of complications

Why Surgery Is Recommended

Gallstones do not dissolve on their own.
If untreated, they can lead to:

  • Severe infection
  • Repeated pain episodes
  • Pancreatitis
  • Bile duct blockage
  • Gallbladder rupture (rare but serious)

Removing the gallbladder completely eliminates these risks.

Procedure Overview

  • Pre-operative Evaluation - Your treatment begins with a detailed assessment that includes an ultrasound scan, essential blood tests, and a review of your medical history. This helps determine the severity of the gallbladder condition and ensures you are fully prepared for surgery.
  • Anaesthesia & Preparation -On the day of surgery, you will receive general anaesthesia to ensure complete comfort. The surgical area is cleaned and prepared, and small key-hole incisions are planned to allow a safe and minimally invasive approach.
  • Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal - Using a high-definition camera and fine instruments, the surgeon carefully removes the gallbladder through tiny incisions. The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes and is designed to minimize pain, bleeding, and recovery time.
  • Post-Surgery Recovery - After surgery, you will be monitored for a few hours and encouraged to walk early. Most patients can eat light food the same day and are discharged within 24 hours. Recovery is generally quick, allowing a return to routine activities within a few days.
