Laparoscopic gallstone surgery in Vizag & across India — 4 tiny incisions, minimal blood loss, home the same day.
Gallstones are hardened deposits of bile components (cholesterol, bilirubin, salts) that form inside the gallbladder. They range from grain-of-sand size to golf-ball size. When stones block the bile duct, they cause severe pain, nausea, jaundice, and gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis).
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy at SurgiKure removes the gallbladder through 4 tiny incisions using a camera and precision instruments. It is the gold standard treatment — minimal scarring, same-day or next-day discharge, and rapid return to normal life within 3-5 days.
No symptoms. Discovered incidentally. May not require immediate surgery but need regular monitoring.
Cause biliary colic with upper right abdominal pain, especially after meals. Surgery is recommended.
Inflamed gallbladder due to a blocked stone. Severe pain, fever, hospitalisation required. Early surgery needed.
Stone in the common bile duct causing jaundice and serious complications. Requires ERCP plus laparoscopic surgery.
Gold standard. The gallbladder is removed through 4 tiny incisions under general anaesthesia. Same-day or next-day discharge, return to work in 5-7 days. Over 95% success rate.
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography removes stones from the common bile duct (not the gallbladder) using a flexible scope passed through the mouth.
A single large incision removes the gallbladder. Reserved for complex cases or when laparoscopy is not suitable.
