If you suffer from sharp abdominal pain, indigestion, or nausea after meals, you may have gallbladder stones (cholelithiasis). These hard deposits form in the gallbladder and often require surgical removal to prevent severe complications like infection or rupture.
At Ashirvad (Dr. Binod Healthcare) in Bihar, the standard of care for gallbladder stone removal is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. This advanced, keyhole surgery offers a safe and highly effective permanent solution with minimal disruption to your daily life.

What is Gallbladder Stone Disease?
Gallbladder stones form when substances in your bile, primarily cholesterol and bilirubin, harden into solid particles. The gallbladder's main job is to store and concentrate bile, which aids in fat digestion.
Why are Gallbladder Stones Dangerous?
-
Biliary Colic: Severe, sudden pain caused when a stone temporarily blocks the bile duct.
-
Cholecystitis: Painful inflammation and infection of the gallbladder wall.
-
Pancreatitis and Jaundice: The stone can migrate and block the main duct, leading to life-threatening complications.
-
Cancer Risk: In regions like Bihar, chronic irritation from gallstones is sadly linked to an increased, though rare, risk of gallbladder cancer, making removal advisable even if symptoms are mild.
Our Advanced Treatment Options
For symptomatic gallbladder stone disease, surgical removal of the entire gallbladder, known as a Cholecystectomy, is the definitive and recommended treatment. Removing the stones alone is ineffective as the problem (the malfunctioning gallbladder) remains, leading to recurrence.
Option 1: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Keyhole Surgery)
Option 2: Open Cholecystectomy (Traditional Surgery)
Our Approach: Laparoscopic First
At Ashirvad Healthcare, we prioritize the laparoscopic method because it is safer, results in less pain, and ensures the fastest return to your family and work.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Keyhole Surgery)
Procedure Focus: The surgeon makes three to four small incisions (typically 0.5 to 1 cm) in the abdomen. A thin tube with a camera (laparoscope) and specialized instruments are inserted to carefully dissect and remove the entire diseased gallbladder.
Key Advantages of Lap Chole
Less Pain & Discomfort: The procedure involves no incisions or stitches, resulting in minimal post-operative pain.
Faster Recovery: Patients can often return to their daily routines within 1-2 days.
No Large Cuts: The procedure is performed without the need for large cuts
Outpatient Procedure: The surgery is typically performed as a day-care procedure, meaning you can go home on the same day but it depends on the condition of the patient.
Open Cholecystectomy (Traditional Surgery)
Procedure Focus: This method involves a single large incision (typically 4-6 inches) in the upper right abdomen.
Best Suited For:
-
Cases where the laparoscopic method is not possible due to severe infection, scar tissue from previous extensive surgeries, or late-stage complications like widespread infection or known cancer.
Laparoscopic vs. Open Surgery: Which is Right for You?
Choosing Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal means choosing a modern recovery pathway:
Feature | Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy | Open Cholecystectomy |
|---|---|---|
Pain Level | Minimal to Moderate (Easily managed) | Moderate to Severe |
Hospital Stay | Same-day discharge or 1 night | 3 to 5 nights |
Recovery to Work | 5 to 7 days | 4 to 6 weeks |
Scarring | Minimal, cosmetic scars | Significant, noticeable scar |
Incision Size | 3-4 small cuts (Keyhole) | 1 large incision (4-6 inches) |
