Expert in treating Gall stones, Complex Gallbladder Surgery

Gallstones are hardened stones (deposits of digestive fluid or minerals) that form in the gallbladder. These stones range in size from a few millimetres to inches.

There could be just one gallstone in some people, while others can develop multiple stones.

Gallstones may be caused when bile contains too much bilirubin, too much cholesterol, or when the gallbladder doesn’t empty properly.

Gallstones, if small in size, may cause no signs or symptoms. However, if it increases in size or gets in a duct, inside the gallbladder, it can trigger a sudden intense abdominal pain that usually lasts for hours.

For the treatment of gallstones, Dr Rahul Raghavapuram MBBS, DNB (General Surgery and Gastroenterology) will conduct a physical examination to check for any visible changes in the skin. A blood test, ultrasound and abdominal CT scans may be conducted to understand the severity of the disease.

For severe cases, a Gallbladder removal surgery known as a cholecystectomy is needed.

Gallbladder removal surgery is of two types -: laparoscopic and open cholecystectomies.

The gallbladder surgery has to be performed by a qualified and expert surgeon. Dr Rahul Raghavapuram is well qualified and expert surgeon with many years of experience to deal with such surgeries successfully.
