Gallstone Treatment
Gallstone treatment at Sarthi Care typically involves laparoscopic cholecystectomy — a minimally invasive surgery where the gallbladder is removed through small incisions using a camera-guided technique. This approach ensures less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
Most patients return home the same or next day after laparoscopic surgery. Full recovery usually takes about 1–2 weeks, during which light activity is encouraged. Our team offers post-operative care and dietary guidance to ensure smooth healing.
Laparoscopic gallbladder removal is considered the most effective and permanent solution for symptomatic gallstones. Once the gallbladder is removed, gallstones typically do not recur, and digestive function remains stable for most individuals.
You may be eligible for surgery if you:
Experience frequent gallstone pain or discomfort
Have gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis)
Develop gallstone-related complications like pancreatitis or bile duct obstruction
A proper diagnosis through ultrasound and lab tests is conducted before recommending treatment.

Gallstones are small, hard stones that form in your gallbladder. They’re made of cholesterol or bile salts and can vary in size—from tiny grains to large lumps.
Gallstones form when:
There’s too much cholesterol or bile in the gallbladder
The gallbladder doesn’t empty properly
You have certain health conditions, obesity, or a family history
Many people have no symptoms. But if gallstones block a duct, you may feel:
Sudden pain in the upper right or middle belly
Nausea or vomiting
Bloating or indigestion
Pain after eating fatty food
Doctors usually use:
Ultrasound (most common)
CT scan or MRI
Blood tests (to check for infection or liver function issues)
No. If you have silent gallstones (no symptoms), treatment may not be needed. But if you're in pain or have complications, treatment is recommended.
There are two main options:
Surgery (Cholecystectomy): Removing the gallbladder (most common and permanent solution)
Medicines: To dissolve gallstones, but they work slowly and are less effective
It’s a minimally invasive surgery where the gallbladder is removed through small cuts using a camera. It has faster recovery and less pain than open surgery.
Yes! The liver still makes bile, which flows directly into the intestine. Some people may have mild digestive changes, but most live normally without a gallbladder.
For laparoscopic surgery, most people go home the same day and recover within 1 to 2 weeks. You can usually return to normal activities quickly.
If your gallbladder is removed, gallstones won’t come back. But if you only use medicine and don’t make lifestyle changes, stones can form again.
