Can I have gallbladder stone surgery?

Dear Mahruf,

Thank you for reaching out. To assist you better, could you please confirm if you have been diagnosed with gallstones and are looking to undergo gallbladder stone surgery?

If yes, there are generally two main treatment options:

1. Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal surgery) – This is the most common treatment for recurrent or symptomatic gallstones, where the gallbladder is removed. Done with advanced technique via laparoscope offers quick recovery, short hospital stay and minimal risk of complications.
2. Stone removal without gallbladder removal – In some cases, due to age or associated medical conditions, they may be removed without removing the gallbladder.

A consultation with a gastroenterologist or surgeon will help determine the best treatment plan for your specific condition.

Please feel free to share more details so we can guide you further.

Wishing you the best of health!
