Quick Answer
Gallstones are hard deposits in the gallbladder that block bile flow, causing upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, and sometimes jaundice or fever. Aaravya Hospital manages them with medicines for mild cases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy as the standard treatment, open surgery for complex cases, and care for related complications like infection or jaundice.
At Aaravya Hospital, we provide safe and effective treatment for gallbladder stones (gallstones) using advanced diagnostic tools and modern surgical techniques. Our goal is to relieve pain, prevent complications like infection or jaundice, and improve your overall digestive health.
Gallstones are hard deposits that form inside the gallbladder, a small organ under the liver that stores bile. These stones can block the bile ducts and cause pain, indigestion, infection, or swelling of the gallbladder (cholecystitis).
High-fat, high-cholesterol, low-fiber diet; obesity or rapid weight loss; family history of gallstones; female gender, pregnancy, or hormonal changes; diabetes and certain liver conditions.
1. Medical Management (Symptomatic Relief)
Pain relief, antispasmodic, and digestive medicines provide temporary relief in mild or early cases — not a permanent cure.
2. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Keyhole Gallbladder Removal Surgery)
The standard and most effective treatment for gallstones. The gallbladder (with stones) is removed through 3–4 tiny keyhole incisions, with less pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery. Most patients can walk the same or next day and resume routine soon.
3. Open Cholecystectomy (Rarely Needed)
Done in selected complex cases where laparoscopic surgery is not advisable.
4. Management of Complications
Treatment of infection, jaundice, or pancreatitis due to gallstones, with supportive care such as IV fluids, antibiotics, and monitoring.
