Gallbladder Stones

What are Gallbladder Stones?

Gallbladder stones are hardened deposits that form inside the gallbladder and can cause abdominal pain, nausea, and digestive discomfort when they block bile flow.

Common Symptoms to Watch For

Symptoms may include sudden upper abdominal pain, vomiting, indigestion, bloating, and pain that radiates to the back or right shoulder, especially after meals.

When is Surgery Needed?

Surgery is recommended when stones cause repeated pain, inflammation, or infection. Gallbladder removal, usually done laparoscopically, offers permanent relief.

Benefits of Gallbladder Stone Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery ensures minimal pain, smaller cuts, quicker recovery, and prevents future gallstone-related attacks or complications.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients return to normal routine in about a week. A light diet, proper rest, and follow-up visits help ensure smooth healing.
