What is Gallbladder Stone Surgery?
The gallbladder is a small pouch beneath the liver that stores bile — the fluid that digests fats. Gallbladder stones (gallstones or pitt ki pathri) form when bile components crystallise. They affect millions of Indians — especially women, overweight individuals, and people above 40.
When gallstones cause symptoms — severe pain, nausea, or complications like infection or jaundice — the only permanent treatment is surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy). Today this is done laparoscopically through 3–4 tiny cuts, with same-day or next-day discharge.

Symptoms of Gallbladder Stones
Recognise the warning signs. When symptoms become an emergency — go to hospital immediately.
Severe Upper Right Abdominal Pain
Sudden intense pain in the upper right abdomen — typically 30–60 minutes after a fatty or fried meal. Can be constant or in waves (biliary colic), lasting hours.
⚠️ Seek evaluationPain to Shoulder or Back
Gallbladder pain often radiates to the right shoulder blade or between shoulder blades — "referred pain" characteristic of gallbladder disease.
Nausea & Vomiting
Nausea, vomiting, and bloating especially after fatty foods. Persistent nausea may indicate inflamed or obstructed gallbladder requiring urgent review.
Jaundice (Yellow Eyes / Peeliya)
Yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, pale stools — gallstone has moved into bile duct causing obstruction. Serious complication requiring urgent hospital admission.
🔴 Emergency — go immediatelyFever with Abdominal Pain
Fever above 38.5°C + upper right pain = acute cholecystitis (infected gallbladder) — a surgical emergency. IV antibiotics and surgery needed immediately.
🔴 Emergency — go immediatelyFood Intolerance & Bloating
Cannot tolerate fatty or fried food — bloating, belching, gas and discomfort after eating. Many people have "silent" gallstones for years before acute attacks begin.
Laparoscopic vs Open Surgery — Which Is Better?
At Satyadev Hospital we perform laparoscopic (keyhole) gallbladder surgery in almost all cases — the benefits are dramatically better.
| Feature | 🟢 Laparoscopic (Our Method) | ⬛ Open Surgery (Older) |
|---|---|---|
| Incision Size | 3–4 cuts of 5–10mm | 1 large cut 10–15cm |
| Pain After Surgery | Minimal — tablets sufficient | Severe — strong relief needed |
| Hospital Stay | Same day or 1 night | 3–5 days |
| Return to Work | 5–7 days | 4–6 weeks |
| Scarring | 3–4 tiny, barely visible | Large permanent scar |
| Infection Risk | Very low | Higher — large wound |
| Recovery Quality | Faster, more comfortable | Prolonged, restricted |
| Ayushman Bharat | ✅ FREE (PMJAY) | Covered if needed |
What Happens During Gallbladder Surgery?
Step-by-step — from pre-op to going home.
Pre-Operative Assessment
Blood tests (CBC, LFT, coagulation), ultrasound abdomen, ECG, and anaesthesia fitness review. Fasting from midnight before surgery. IV line placed on the morning of surgery.
⏱ Day before or morning of surgeryGeneral Anaesthesia
You are given general anaesthesia — fully asleep, completely painless throughout. The anaesthesiologist monitors your vital signs continuously during the entire surgery.
⏱ 10–15 minutes to take effectLaparoscopic Entry — 3–4 Small Cuts
3–4 cuts of 5–10mm made on the abdomen. A camera (laparoscope) is inserted — giving the surgeon a magnified view on a screen. CO₂ gas inflates the abdomen gently to create working space.
⏱ First 10 minutesGallbladder Dissection & Removal
The gallbladder is carefully separated from the liver. The cystic duct and artery are clipped and divided. The entire gallbladder — with all stones inside — is removed through one of the small cuts.
⏱ 20–40 minutesClosure & Recovery
Cuts closed with absorbable stitches (no removal needed) or surgical glue. You wake up in recovery — most patients are comfortable within 1–2 hours. Discharge same evening or next morning.
⏱ Home within 4–24 hoursAshiana-Digha Rd, Patna 800025
What to Eat & Avoid After Gallbladder Surgery
Diet after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is simple — most restrictions are temporary for 4–6 weeks.
✅ Safe to Eat After Surgery
- ✓Plain rice, dal, khichdi — easy to digest, start Day 1
- ✓Chapati with minimal ghee or butter
- ✓Boiled vegetables — lauki, tinda, tori, spinach
- ✓Fruits — banana, papaya, apple (avoid citrus initially)
- ✓Low-fat yoghurt (dahi) and buttermilk (chaas)
- ✓Boiled or steamed fish and chicken (without skin)
- ✓Egg whites (avoid yolk for 2 weeks)
- ✓Plenty of water — 2–3 litres daily
- ✓Small frequent meals — 5–6 times a day rather than 3 large
❌ Avoid for 4–6 Weeks After Surgery
- ✗Fried foods — samosa, pakora, puri, fried rice
- ✗Fatty meats — mutton, beef, pork, fatty chicken
- ✗Full-fat dairy — cream, cheese, full-cream milk
- ✗Spicy food — heavy masalas, excess chilli
- ✗Pickles, papad, processed and packaged foods
- ✗Alcohol — avoid for at least 6 weeks post-surgery
- ✗Carbonated drinks — cola, soda
- ✗Egg yolks (high fat content)
- ✗Very large meals at once — causes bloating
These Symptoms Need Emergency Care
These indicate serious complications — go to hospital immediately. Do not wait.
Jaundice (Peeliya)
Yellow skin or eyes + dark urine + pale stools = bile duct obstruction. Requires emergency ERCP or surgery — do not delay.
High Fever + Abdominal Pain
Fever above 38.5°C + upper right pain = acute cholecystitis or ascending cholangitis — life-threatening without immediate treatment.
Uncontrolled Severe Pain
Gallbladder pain not relieved by any position — may indicate impacted bile duct stone or gallbladder perforation. Emergency CT and surgery needed.
Persistent Vomiting
Cannot keep food or fluid down for more than 24 hours — risk of dehydration and may indicate gallstone pancreatitis.
Rapid Breathing + Confusion
Sepsis from gallbladder infection spreading to bloodstream — life-threatening emergency requiring ICU and immediate surgery.
Pain After Previous Surgery
New pain, fever, or jaundice after previous gallbladder surgery — may indicate bile leak or retained stones. Needs urgent evaluation.
