Frequently Asked Questions

1.What is the most effective treatment for gallstones?

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy  surgical removal of the gallbladder  is the definitive and most effective treatment for symptomatic gallstones. Medication to dissolve stones exists but is rarely used, as it is slow, unreliable, and stones almost always return. Surgery gives permanent relief.

2.How long does laparoscopic gallbladder surgery take at GEM Hospital?

The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes and is performed under general anaesthesia. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours. Some go home the same evening. The recovery is remarkably quick  most patients are surprised by how little disruption the surgery causes.

3.Why is it better to remove the gallbladder rather than just the stones?

The gallbladder is where stones form. Removing stones while leaving the gallbladder intact guarantees recurrence  new stones will form again, often within months to years. Removing the gallbladder eliminates the source permanently. Your body adjusts very well, as bile continues to reach the intestine from the liver.
4.When can I eat normally again after gallbladder surgery?

Most patients tolerate liquids within hours of surgery and light solids the next day. A regular diet is typically resumed within 1–2 weeks. Some temporary sensitivity to very fatty foods is normal and resolves as the digestive system adapts. Detailed dietary guidance is provided at discharge
.
5.How do I know if my gallbladder pain is a surgical emergency?
