Gallbladder stone is one of the abdominal problems people suffer from. Stone in gallbladder can cause some serious problems and that is why if you doubt that you might be suffering from it, you should visit the best doctor for gallbladder stone.

We all often hear about this abdominal issue, but how much do we know about it? Let’s understand what gallbladder stone is. The gallbladder is an organ that is pear shaped. It stores bile, a fluid that helps digest food. When it stops working appropriately, hard elements start to form inside. Gallstones do not get removed automatically. When they start troubling or paining, sometimes the doctor may have to remove the gallbladder.

Here are some common types of gallbladder surgeries-

1. Open surgery
Doctors need to perform an open surgery if there is a bleeding disorder. A five to seven inches of incision is required to remove your gallbladder. Open surgery is recommended when the patient Is overweight or in the last trimester of pregnancy. Also, recommended when the patient is suffering from a serious gallbladder disease.

2. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is also known as keyhole surgery. There are numerous renowned hospitals offering Laparoscopic surgery in Ahmedabad. This procedure requires just four small incisions post which a thin and long tube is inserted inside the belly to see inside your belly. The thin and long tube consists of a high resolution camera and a high-definition light. The surgeons are able to see the inside of your belly properly as the images are sent to the monitor. Special tools are required to remove the diseased part.

Both surgeries need general anesthesia to be given so that the patient is asleep and doesn’t feel any sort of pain.
