Gallbladder Stone Specialist in Thane
Expert Diagnosis & Advanced Laparoscopic Treatment
Gallbladder stones (also called gallstones) are a very common problem today. They cause severe abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, digestion issues, and sometimes dangerous infections. If ignored, gallstones can block ducts, damage the pancreas, or lead to emergency complications.
With modern laparoscopic surgery available in Thane, gallbladder stone treatment is now safer, painless, stitch-less, and fast-recovery.
🔍 What Are Gallbladder Stones?
Gallstones are hard deposits of cholesterol or bilirubin that form inside the gallbladder.
Types:
✔ Cholesterol stones
✔ Pigment stones
✔ Mixed stones
They vary in size—from a single large stone to multiple tiny stones.
💥 Symptoms of Gallbladder Stones
Common signs include:
• Sudden upper right abdominal pain
• Pain after oily or heavy meals
• Back or shoulder blade pain
• Bloating & indigestion
• Nausea or vomiting
• Gas & acidity
• Fever with pain (infection)
• Yellowing of eyes (if duct is blocked)
Many patients have silent stones, detected only on ultrasound.
⚠ Why Gallstones Should Not Be Ignored
Untreated gallstones can cause serious complications:
❗ Cholecystitis (infection of gallbladder)
❗ Jaundice (duct blockage)
❗ Pancreatitis (life-threatening)
❗ Choledocholithiasis (stones in main bile duct)
❗ Sepsis (blood infection)
❗ Gallbladder rupture
Hence, early evaluation and timely surgery are important.
🩺 Diagnosis of Gallstones
Most cases are diagnosed using:
✔ Ultrasound Abdomen
Best and fastest test to confirm stones
✔ Liver Function Tests (LFT)
To check for bile duct blockage
✔ MRCP (if needed)
For suspected CBD stones
🔧 Treatment for Gallbladder Stones
The only permanent treatment for gallstones is gallbladder removal surgery (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy).
Medicines, home remedies, shockwave therapy, or dissolving agents do NOT remove stones and are not recommended.
