The gallbladder stores bile released during meals. When stones form, they cause pain after fatty meals, indigestion and — if a stone slips out — jaundice or pancreatitis. Medication does not dissolve stones reliably; the proven cure is removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy). Done laparoscopically, this is one of the safest day-care procedures in modern surgery. Dr. Nitin Jain has performed thousands of gallbladder procedures, including complex cases with bile duct stones, contracted gallbladders and Mirizzi syndrome.
If any of the warning signs below sound familiar, get a specialist opinion — early evaluation is the single biggest factor in good outcomes.
The commonest gallbladder problem. Symptomatic stones don't resolve on their own and tend to cause repeated, worsening attacks until removed.
Treatment offered: Day-care laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ERCP first if stones have moved into the bile duct.
An infected, inflamed gallbladder — usually from a stone blocking the outlet. Causes constant right upper abdominal pain, fever and tenderness. Ideally treated by early surgery (within 72 hours).
Treatment offered: Admission, IV antibiotics and early laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the same admission.
Outgrowths on the gallbladder wall, mostly benign. Polyps over 10 mm, those with stones, or rapidly growing polyps need removal to rule out cancer.
Treatment offered: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with full pathology — extended resection only if invasive cancer is confirmed.
Sub-0.1% bile-duct injury rate across high-volume gallbladder surgery — the single most important quality measure. Same-day discharge for most patients, full insurance cashless at empanelled hospitals.
