About gall bladder stones

The gall bladder is a small pear-shaped organ beneath the right side of the liver.

The main function of the gall bladder is the storage of bile made by the liver, with an average capacity of 50ml.

Normal digestion can occur without a gall bladder, as the liver will continue producing bile. The bile will reach the intestine for digestion of food but without being stored in the gall bladder.

When the gallbladder continuously fails to empty as it should, cholesterol present in the bile precipitates, leading to the formation of stones.

The majority of gallbladder stones are made of cholesterol.

Symptoms of gall stones

  • Pain in the right upper side of the abdomen.
  • High grade fever with chills
  • Vomiting or feeling of vomiting(nausea)
  • Pain radiating into the back between shoulder blades.
  • Improper digestion or excessive gas formation in abdomen (bloating of abdomen)
  • Jaundice leading to yellowish discoloration of eyes and dark colored urine.

Complications due
to untreated gall stones

Acute Cholecystitis: Infection of gall bladder causing severe pain in the right upper abdomen persisting for many hours.

Rupture of Gall Bladder: The gall bladder wall can sometimes rupture due to severe infection and pus formation, especially in individuals with high blood sugar.

Jaundice: When the gall stones slip into the bile ducts, it can lead to jaundice.

Pancreatitis: When stones from the gallbladder slip into the pancreatic duct, it can lead to a threatening condition called pancreatitis.

Cancer of Gall Bladder: When bladder stones are present for a long time, it can even lead to gallbladder cancer.

Best Treatment of Gall Bladder Stones in Delhi:

Laparoscopic Surgery is a well-established and best mode for gall bladder surgery with clear advantages over the traditional open technique.

Long and thin telescopes with powerful optical and high-definition monitors, state-of-the-art highly précised instruments, and extremely safe energy sources are used to dissect the gallbladder.

At Habilite Clinics, our principal surgeon, Dr. Kapil Agrawal, has the experience and expertise to perform both conventional and single-port laparoscopic surgery, the most advanced and sophisticated of laparoscopic surgery.

Conventional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy:

In conventional laparoscopic surgery for gallstones, we create three small holes of 0.5 cm in the abdomen. Long, thin telescopes along with instruments are introduced.

With the help of images projected on the monitors, the dissection of the gall bladder is carried out, and the gall bladder, along with stones, is removed.

Single Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy:

Single-incision laparoscopic procedure for gallstones is a highly advanced, revolutionary procedure performed through a single incision completely hidden inside the belly button or umbilicus.

The procedure is carried out entirely in a similar manner when compared to traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Still, it requires more expertise and precision for successful outcomes.

The major advantage of single port surgery is a single small hole or incision, which remarkably decreases pain and accelerates the recovery.

The best part of single-port gallstone surgery is excellent cosmesis because it is virtually scarless.

Key Benefits of Single Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy:

In comparison to conventional four-port laparoscopic surgery, the major advantage of single-port surgery is a single small hole or incision, which remarkably decreases pain and accelerates recovery.

Those who undergo single-port gallstone surgery are happier because of excellent cosmesis, rapid recovery, and significantly less painful perception.

  • Speedy Recovery
  • Early and Easy Mobility
  • Discharge within 24 hours
  • Virtually Scarless Surgery
  • Less tissue trauma and less post-operative pain
  • Less Dependence on pain reliever tablets

Risk Factors for Gallstone Formation

Although there is no definitive reason as to why the gall bladder stone occurs, certain conditions that predispose gallstone formation are:

  • Advancing age, especially more than 60 years
  • Females
  • Obesity
  • Rapid weight gain or weight loss
  • Certain medications like OCPs (oral contraceptive pills), hormone replacement therapy, fibrates, etc, promote gallstone formation.
  • Family history of gallstones
  • Multiparity and multiple pregnancies
  • Bowel disease resulting in ileal resection or bypass.
  • People with certain other illnesses like Sickle cell anemia, Hemolytic anemia, or Inflammatory bowel disease.

FAQ

Patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy by our team are discharged within 24 hours following surgery.

Recovery after laparoscopic surgery is very fast, and the patients are allowed to walk after 4 hours of surgery. You can start taking a bath from the day of surgery, and there is no need for bed rest. Depending upon the type of job, you can join back in 4-7 days. You can start driving after seven days of surgery.

Some medicines can dissolve gallstones, but the results are extremely poor. The chances of recurrence are very high, and pure cholesterol stones are present in very few patients. The majority of the stones are of mixed type, and medicines are found to be ineffective.

Another option is shock wave lithotripsy, in which high-frequency waves are targeted on the gall bladder to fragment stones. Still, this modality has gone into disrepute due to poor results, high recurrence rate, and development of complications like jaundice, pancreatitis, etc.

Patients with gallstones should have a low-fat diet. Diets high in fat and cholesterol can precipitate gallstone pain or may cause bloating or excessive gas formation. A diet high in fruits, vegetables, high fiber, and low-fat dairy products is usually recommended for gallstone patients.

Despite several online claims, there is no scientific evidence that gallstones can be dissolved through remedies like apple juice, apple cider vinegar, or milk thistle. We highly recommend trusting only evidence-based medicine and adhering to scientific international guidelines for managing gallstones.

Your digestive system will continue to function properly even without gallbladder support. Your body takes 7-14 days to adapt without a gall bladder, following which no major dietary restrictions exist. Our dieticians will ensure a smooth recovery during the initial phase with their customized nutritional plans.

Here are three main reasons for the formation of gallstones:

Excessive cholesterol in bile: Bile contains certain chemicals that help in the absorption of cholesterol, but when the liver starts eliminating excessive cholesterol, it can result in the precipitation of cholesterol in the gallbladder, leading to the formation of stones.

Sudden weight loss, sudden weight gain, and obesity are some conditions that lead to this condition.

Excessive Bilirubin in Bile: Excessive bilirubin in bile can lead to the formation of pigment stones. Bilirubin is a chemical produced after the death of red blood cells. Certain conditions like genetic blood disorders and liver cirrhosis can lead to excessive and premature death of red blood cells.

Dysfunction of the gallbladder:: When the gallbladder loses its power to contract and relax adequately, there is stagnation or stasis of bile in the gallbladder. The stagnation of bile can lead to the precipitation of cholesterol from the bile.

As a result, stones start forming in the gallbladder.

Gallbladder polyps are common and usually detected in ultrasound or other radiological investigations. Most gallbladder polyps are small in size and are multiple. You must always seek the opinion of a gallbladder specialist surgeon who can guide you through the best course of treatment. Some gallbladder polyps can eventually become cancerous, while others remain harmless throughout life.

Patients testimonial

I am Varun, and I belong to Gurgaon. I had pain in my tummy, and the Ultrasound report showed multiple gall bladder stones. When I consulted Dr. Kapil Agrawal, he advised me to undergo surgery at Apollo Spectra Hospital, Nehru Place. Since it was a bit far, I had a video consultation with him. I submitted my insurance documents to his team through email. His unit took my approval for surgery before my admission. I got admitted on the day of surgery, got my surgery done on the same day, and got discharged the next day. I can't expect anything better.

Hello Dr. Agrawal ....Thank you very much for performing a very lovely, scar-free surgery on me. I was terrified of surgery, but you made it very simple. Before I could realize it, you did my surgery, and I was sitting home the next day of surgery. Thanks once again for all the help.

I would surely rate Dr. Kapil Agrawal as one of the best gall bladder stone surgeon in Delhi. I am saying this because he has excellent skills, great human, always listen to my problems, and a fantastic team of dieticians and coordinator to take care. He did laparoscopic surgery on me, and it was a very satisfactory experience.

Dr. Kapil Agrawal performed surgery on my 85 years old father. He developed pus in the gall bladder because of a severe infection. He also had diabetes and heart problems. I knew it was a complicated case, and I was a bit worried about the expenses.

His team arranged a zero percent EMI for me from one of the tie-up companies, and he performed surgery on my father at Apollo Spectra Hospital. The surgery went very well, and my father got discharged from the hospital after 36 hours of surgery. God has been very kind to us, and my father is completely cured of his illness.

When I was diagnosed with gall stones, my biggest fear was the expenses. I searched for the best surgeon for gall stones treatment. I contacted Dr.Kapil Agrawal, who told me to undergo laparoscopic surgery at a budget-friendly hospital. I was delighted to know the pricing as it was very reasonable and well within my budget. My surgery went well, and I got discharged the next day without any pain or discomfort. Excellent experience.
