Gall Stones
Gallstones are solid particles that form in the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver. These stones can vary in size and number and are typically composed of cholesterol or bilirubin. Gallstones can cause significant pain and lead to complications such as inflammation, infection, and blockages in the bile ducts. Common symptoms include sudden and intense pain in the upper right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and digestive problems. At Day and Night Hospital, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for gallstones to ensure effective relief and prevent further complications.
The primary treatment for symptomatic gallstones is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, known as cholecystectomy. This procedure can be performed using a minimally invasive technique called laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During this surgery, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) along with specialized surgical instruments are inserted to remove the gallbladder.
This method offers several advantages, including reduced pain, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Dr. Vanajakshi Jami, a specialist in laparoscopic surgery at Day and Night Hospital, has extensive experience in performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized care, ensuring each patient receives the most appropriate treatment based on their specific condition and overall health.
