Understanding Gallbladder Diseases
What Does the Gallbladder Do?
The gallbladder is a small pouch located beneath the liver that stores, concentrates, and releases bile. Bile is a digestive juice produced by the liver that helps in breaking down dietary fats during the digestive process after the consumption of fatty foods.
Common Symptoms of Gallbladder Problems:
When the gallbladder ceases to function properly, it can cause various symptoms.
- The Classic Symptom: Biliary Colic: This is the first major warning sign. You might experience a sudden, intense, and steady pain in the upper right abdomen or centre of your stomach, just below the breastbone.
- Persistent Indigestion and Bloating: You might also feel frequent bloating, gas, heartburn, and a feeling of fullness or nausea, especially after meals.
- Signs of Infection or Inflammation (Acute Cholecystitis): If a stone completely blocks the gallbladder's outlet, it can lead to a dangerous infection. This results in constant, severe pain, fever with chills, and nausea/vomiting.
- When stones slip into the bile duct: Small stones can escape the gallbladder and block the common bile duct (choledocholithiasis), or even trigger pancreatitis. This can cause jaundice, dark urine and pale stools, severe, persistent abdominal pain.
When You Should See a Gallbladder Specialist
If you experience recurrent episodes of upper abdominal pain, especially after meals, or any of the acute symptoms mentioned above, do not ignore them. Early consultation with a specialist like Dr Kapil Agrawal can prevent complications and lead to a simpler, scheduled surgery rather than an emergency procedure.
Gallbladder Conditions We Treat
While gallbladder stones are the most common problem, the gallbladder can be affected by several conditions. Dr Kapil Agrawal's expertise enables him to deal with the full spectrum of gallbladder pathologies.
Gallstones (Cholelithiasis): The presence of stones that are causing biliary colic or other symptoms. This is the most common reason for recommending laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Acute and Chronic Cholecystitis: This refers to inflammation of the gallbladder, due to which gallbladder stops to function.
Biliary Dyskinesia: This is a less common condition where the gallbladder loses its power to contract and cannot empty bile properly, causing classic gallbladder pain without the presence of stones.
Gallbladder Polyps: These are growths that protrude from the gallbladder's inner lining. While most are benign, certain types or large polyps (<1) may have malignant potential.
Porcelain Gallbladder: A rare condition where the gallbladder wall becomes calcified. It is associated with a significantly increased risk of gallbladder cancer.

Advanced Gallbladder Surgery Options by Dr. Kapil Agrawal in Delhi, India
Gallbladder stone treatment has advanced significantly with the use of modern surgical techniques that focus on safety, comfort, and quicker recovery. At Habilite Clinics, Dr. Kapil Agrawal offers a range of minimally invasive gallbladder surgery options, delivering precise and patient-centric care for effective stone removal.
1. Gold-Standard Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: The Preferred Choice
Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is widely accepted as the most effective and reliable method for treating gallstones. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia and uses modern surgical technology to ensure accuracy and patient comfort.
- Three very small cuts, each around 0.5 cm, are made on the abdomen.
- A slender camera-equipped scope is inserted to provide a clear, enlarged internal view.
- Fine surgical tools are used to safely remove the gallbladder under visual guidance.
- The approach results in reduced pain, minimal marks, lower chances of infection, and faster recovery, allowing most patients to return to routine activities quickly.
2. Single-Port (SILS) Surgery: For an Almost Scarless Result
Single-port gallbladder surgery is an advanced evolution of standard laparoscopy, designed for selected patients who qualify for this technique. It offers excellent cosmetic outcomes along with reduced discomfort. Dr. Kapil Agrawal is among the early adopters of this method, performing it primarily for gallbladder stone and bariatric procedures.
- The entire surgery is carried out through one small incision placed inside the navel (belly button).
- Unlike conventional laparoscopy, no multiple abdominal cuts are required.
- The single hidden entry point leads to significantly less visible scarring after healing.
- Eligible patients benefit from minimal pain and an almost scar-free appearance post-surgery.
3. Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Unparalleled Precision for Complex Cases
Robotic-assisted surgery is reserved for select cases where added precision offers clear advantages. Dr. Kapil Agrawal uses this technology for patients who require greater accuracy due to surgical complexity or challenging anatomy.
- The robotic system delivers a highly magnified three-dimensional view of the surgical area.
- Robotic instruments eliminate hand tremors, allowing extremely controlled and precise movements.
- This technique is especially useful in cases with severe inflammation, unusual anatomy, or prior surgical scarring.
- Patients can expect recovery and cosmetic outcomes comparable to laparoscopy, with added safety in complex situations.
Robotic approaches can mean similar recovery times and aesthetic results but may be preferred in patients having complex anatomy, severe inflammation, or scarring from previous surgeries.
Determining the Best Surgical Approach for You
During your evaluation, Dr Kapil Agrawal reviews your medical history, imaging, lifestyle goals, and recovery expectations to select the safest and most aesthetic option—whether that is standard laparoscopy, single-port surgery, or robotic-assisted precision for complex cases.
