- Hospital Stay: Shorter recovery, allowing discharge within 24 hours of operation.
- Recovery Time: Fast return to normal work and walking activity in 3-5 days.
- Pain & Bleeding: Negligible discomfort with zero muscular cuts and no scarring.
Open Gallbladder Surgery
- Traditional Method: Performed via a single larger incision (around 5 to 7 inches).
- Complex Cases: Required for severe scar tissue from past surgeries or active infection.
- Hospital Stay: Requires 3 to 5 days of inpatient monitoring for safe recovery.
- Recovery Period: Takes 4 to 6 weeks of rest to fully heal the abdominal wall muscle.
- Bleeding & Risks: Higher bleeding risk and post-op pain compared to keyhole surgery.
Diagnosis & Treatment Process
We guide patients step-by-step from initial doctor consultation and clinical diagnosis to advanced laparoscopic surgery and comprehensive post-op care.
Consultation
Our gastro surgeon checks clinical symptoms like right-side abdominal cramping, dietary patterns, and previous pain episodes.
Diagnosis
We perform an abdominal ultrasound scan to evaluate the size/number of stones, wall thickness of gallbladder, and check bile ducts.
Evaluation
Routine blood investigations, liver profile (LFT), and ECG are conducted to ensure patient's safety before administering anesthesia.
The Surgery
Performed under general anesthesia. Laparoscopic tools are deployed to remove the gallbladder, avoiding damage to the liver structures.
Discharge
The patient starts taking liquids on the same evening, followed by soft diet next morning. Discharge is usually done within 24 hours.
