What Are Gallbladder Stones?

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.

Common Symptoms

Sudden sharp pain in the upper right abdomenPain radiating to the right shoulder or backNausea and vomiting after fatty mealsFever and chills (with infection)Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice)Dark urine and pale-coloured stoolsBloating and indigestion

Types & Grades

Silent Gallstones

No symptoms. Discovered incidentally. May not require immediate surgery but need regular monitoring.

Symptomatic Gallstones

Cause biliary colic with upper right abdominal pain, especially after meals. Surgery is recommended.

Acute Cholecystitis

Inflamed gallbladder due to a blocked stone. Severe pain, fever, hospitalisation required. Early surgery needed.

Choledocholithiasis

Stone in the common bile duct causing jaundice and serious complications. Requires ERCP plus laparoscopic surgery.

Gallstone Treatment Options

1

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

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.

2

ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography removes stones from the common bile duct (not the gallbladder) using a flexible scope passed through the mouth.

3

Open Cholecystectomy

A single large incision removes the gallbladder. Reserved for complex cases or when laparoscopy is not suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to live without a gallbladder?
Yes. After gallbladder removal, bile flows directly from the liver to the small intestine. Digestion continues normally with minor dietary adjustments.
How long does laparoscopic gallbladder surgery take?
The procedure takes 45-60 minutes. Most patients go home the same day and recover fully within 1-2 weeks.
Can gallstones come back after surgery?
No. Once the gallbladder is removed, gallstones cannot form again as there is no gallbladder to store bile.
Is gallbladder surgery covered by insurance?
Yes. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is covered by most health insurance policies. SurgiKure assists with cashless claims.
