Gallstone symptoms can range from mild digestive discomfort to severe abdominal pain. If gallstones block the bile ducts or cause inflammation, complications may develop and require prompt medical attention.
At Hegde Hospital, treatment is individualized based on factors such as the size and location of the stones, symptoms, complications, and overall health. When surgery is recommended, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is commonly used to remove the gallbladder through small incisions.
What Are Gallstones?
Gallstones are solid particles that develop inside the gallbladder when substances in bile, such as cholesterol or bilirubin, become imbalanced and form stones. They can range in size from tiny particles to larger stones.
Some people have gallstones without experiencing symptoms and may not need immediate treatment. However, gallstones that cause repeated pain, inflammation, infection, or blockage may require medical or surgical treatment.
Common Symptoms of Gallstones
- Recurring pain in the upper right abdomen
- Abdominal pain after eating fatty meals
- Nausea or vomiting associated with abdominal pain
- Indigestion or bloating
- Repeated gallbladder attacks
- Gallbladder inflammation
- Gallstones detected during an ultrasound
- Blocked bile duct or complications from gallstones
How Are Gallstones Diagnosed?
A doctor may recommend an ultrasound or other imaging tests to confirm the presence of gallstones and evaluate the gallbladder and bile ducts. Your symptoms, medical history, examination, and diagnostic findings help the surgeon determine the appropriate treatment.
Gallstones Treatment Options
Treatment depends on whether gallstones are causing symptoms or complications. Gallstones that do not cause symptoms may not require immediate treatment. When gallstones cause repeated symptoms or complications, surgical treatment may be recommended.
- Medical Evaluation: Assessment of symptoms and gallbladder condition.
- Observation: Suitable for selected patients with asymptomatic gallstones.
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Minimally invasive removal of the gallbladder when surgery is indicated.

What is Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery?
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove the gallbladder through small abdominal incisions. A camera and specialized surgical instruments are used to perform the procedure.
