Gallbladder Stone Surgery: When is it Necessary Due to Pain?

Hello Vishal ji,

Gallbladder stones (pitti ki pathri), causing regular pain, often need surgical treatment. Here’s a simple guide to understand the situation and how you can proceed with surgery:

When is Surgery Needed?

• Regular pain in the right upper abdomen

• Nausea or vomiting after eating

• Pain spreading to the back or shoulder

• Inflammation or infection (cholecystitis)

In such cases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) is commonly advised. It is a minimally invasive surgery with a quick recovery time.

Surgery Options & Next Steps

1. Consult a Gastro Surgeon: A specialist will confirm if surgery is needed after reviewing ultrasound and blood reports.

2. Choose a Hospital: You can opt for private or Ayushman Bharat empanelled hospitals if eligible.

3. Cashless Surgery (if Ayushman Card or Insurance Available):

   • If your mother holds an Ayushman Bharat card, gallbladder surgery is covered free of cost in empanelled hospitals.
