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.
