Gallstones Causing Pain? Don't Ignore the Warning Signs!

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones and gallbladder disease. This minimally invasive surgery is performed through 3–4 tiny incisions, resulting in less pain, minimal scars, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery.

What is the Gallbladder?

The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile, which helps digest fats. Gallstones can block the flow of bile, causing severe pain, infection, jaundice, pancreatitis, and other potentially life-threatening complications.

Pathophysiology

➑ Cholesterol or pigment crystals form gallstones.
➑ Stones block the cystic duct.
➑ Bile becomes trapped inside the gallbladder.
➑ Pressure and inflammation increase.
➑ Bacterial infection may develop (Acute Cholecystitis).
➑ Untreated disease can lead to rupture, abscess, jaundice, pancreatitis, cholangitis, or sepsis.
