Why Choose Laparoscopic Surgery For Gallbladder Removal?
Small keyhole incisions instead of a large open cut lead to less trauma and faster recovery.
Most patients can return home within a day and resume normal activities in a week.
Smaller incisions reduce the chances of wound infections and post-surgical complications.
Tiny incisions leave minimal scars, offering a better cosmetic outcome.
Patients can start a regular diet sooner with fewer digestive issues.
Patients experience significantly less post-operative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
Gallstones often remain silent without causing symptoms. However, when they obstruct the bile duct, they can trigger several uncomfortable symptoms. The most common sign is biliary colic, a sudden and intense pain in the upper right or middle abdomen, which can last from a few minutes to several hours. This pain often occurs after consuming fatty or heavy meals.
Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, bloating, indigestion, and gas. Some people experience jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) if a gallstone blocks the bile flow. Fever and chills may occur if an infection, such as cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), develops.
In severe cases, gallstones can lead to complications like pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), causing intense abdominal pain that radiates to the back. If you experience persistent pain, fever, or jaundice, seeking immediate medical attention is essential to prevent further complications.
As a responsible surgeon, I strongly advise early treatment of gallstones to prevent severe complications, including:
Acute Cholecystitis: Inflammation of the gallbladder, causing severe pain, fever, and infection.
Bile Duct Obstruction: Blockage of bile flow, leading to jaundice and liver dysfunction.
Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas due to stone blockage, causing intense abdominal pain.
Gallbladder Gangrene or Perforation: Tissue death or rupture, which can be life-threatening.
Gallbladder Cancer: Chronic irritation from stones may increase cancer risk.
Delaying treatment can lead to emergency complications requiring urgent surgery. Early intervention ensures safer and smoother recovery.
As an experienced laparoscopic surgeon in Kolkata, I perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder. Here’s how the procedure works:
Anesthesia – The patient is placed under general anesthesia for a painless experience.
Small Incisions – I make 3-4 tiny incisions in the abdomen.
Insertion of Laparoscope – A thin tube with a camera (laparoscope) is inserted for a clear view inside the abdomen.
Gallbladder Removal – Using specialized instruments, I carefully detach and remove the gallbladder.
Closure – The incisions are closed with stitches or surgical glue.
Recovery – Patients usually go home within a day and recover within a week.
This technique ensures less pain, minimal scars, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.

After gallbladder surgery, it’s best to reintroduce foods gradually. Avoid fatty, greasy, and spicy foods initially, as they may cause digestive discomfort. Focus on a balanced diet with fiber and lean proteins. Most patients can resume a normal diet over time.
In most cases, gallstones are removed by taking out the gallbladder itself, as stones tend to recur. However, in rare situations, stones can be removed without gallbladder removal. Your surgeon will determine the best approach based on your condition.
