What are Gallbladder Stones?

Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that form inside the gallbladder, a small organ beneath the liver. They can range from tiny grain-like particles to golf-ball sized stones, and often cause pain, especially after fatty meals.

Open cholecystectomy is the traditional surgical removal of the gallbladder through a single larger incision. It is recommended for complex cases, severely inflamed gallbladders, or when laparoscopic surgery is not feasible. Doctor247 connects you with experienced surgeons for safe open gallbladder surgery in Bangalore.

Frequently Asked Questions

The surgery itself is pain-free under anaesthesia. Post-operative pain is managed with medication and typically decreases significantly within a few weeks. While open surgery involves a larger incision than laparoscopic, the pain is well controlled with modern pain management protocols.
