What Are Gallbladder Stones?
Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid, primarily cholesterol or bile salts, that form in the gallbladder. They can range from tiny grains to larger stones, causing symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, and bloating.
Symptoms of Gallstones
1. Severe pain in the upper right abdomen or back.
2. Nausea or vomiting after eating fatty meals.
3. Digestive issues, including bloating and gas.
4. Fever or jaundice in cases of infection or blockage.
When is Gallstones Surgery Recommended?
Gallbladder stone surgery, or cholecystectomy, is typically recommended if gallstones cause:
1. Persistent pain or discomfort (biliary colic).
2. Gallbladder infection (cholecystitis).
3. Blockages in the bile ducts.
4. Risk of complications like pancreatitis.
Types of Gallbladder Stone Surgery
Dr. Manish Madnani offers state-of-the-art surgical options for gallstone removal. His expertise ensures that patients receive the most appropriate treatment based on their condition and medical history.
1. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
This minimally invasive procedure involves removing the gallbladder using a camera and small instruments inserted through tiny incisions. It is the most common and preferred method due to:
1. Minimal scarring.
2. Shorter recovery time.
3. Reduced postoperative pain.
2. Robotic-Assisted Gallbladder Surgery
For complex cases, Dr. Madnani employs robotic-assisted techniques, which offer:
1. Enhanced precision and control.
2. Better visualization of surgical sites.
3. Faster healing with fewer complications.
3. Open Cholecystectomy
In rare cases where minimally invasive methods are not viable, open surgery may be performed. This involves a larger incision to access and remove the gallbladder.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Untreated gallstones can lead to complications such as infections, blockages in the bile ducts, and pancreatitis. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent these risks.
Yes, the gallbladder is not essential for survival. After removal, bile flows directly from the liver to the small intestine, allowing digestion to continue normally.
For laparoscopic surgery, most patients recover within 1-2 weeks. Robotic-assisted techniques may further reduce recovery time.
Initially, a low-fat diet is recommended to help your body adjust. Gradually, most patients return to their normal diets without issues.
Thanks to minimally invasive techniques, postoperative pain is significantly reduced and managed effectively with medication.
