These stones developed in the gallbladder or the bile ducts and cause extreme pain and other major complications in the body. The size of the gallstones ranges from tiny grains of sand to a golf-sized ball in extreme conditions but it is surprising to know that the small stones are responsible for seeking medical treatment for the condition because unlike the larger stones that tend to remain still in the gallbladder, the small stones just leave the gallbladder and might get stuck which can lead to the emergency to operate.

The treatment for gall bladder stone in Jaipur depends on the size of the stone and the symptoms that are reported by the patient. Although medications are advised to patients in times of urgency and serious conditions, surgery is recommended to patients such as Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy which is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the gallbladder. In cases where laparoscopic surgery cannot be performed, open surgery is advisable. Certain kinds of medicines help in dissolving the gallstones but it takes a long time and there is a possibility of the recurrence of the stone. Our surgeons at the hospital recommend this surgical procedure as it involves several small incisions (cut) instead of making a large single cut. Thus, it ensures quick healing and recovery with less pain and shorter hospital stay.
Apart from this, the ERCP procedure is one of the procedures that is used for both diagnosing and treating the gallstones. The procedure is recommended to patients in case the gallstones are found in the bile duct. Thus, these can be removed through the endoscope. This is one of the specialties of this method and unlike other procedures ERCP cannot be used for removing stones that are contained in the gallbladder. The procedure is performed with the endoscope that consists of a flexible tube and a camera that is inserted through the mouth, right down the throat, into the stomach and the small intestines. Once the endoscope reaches the bile duct, it starts removing the stones that are blocking the bile duct.
Our team of experienced gastroenterologists providing treatment for gall bladder stone in Jaipur recommends certain lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk factors arising due to gallstones as there are no set measures that can be adopted to prevent the condition.
