Common symptoms of Gall Bladder stones:
- They may not cause any symptoms at all for many years.
- Pain in the right upper abdomen (Can be in upper centre abdomen as well) when stone blocks gall bladder. Pain may be short lasting if stone dislodges quickly (called biliary colic) or may be long lasting when gall bladder becomes inflamed and may start to have infection inside it.
- Nausea or vomiting may occur as well.
- Loss of appetite or dyspepsia.
- Jaundice can occur if stone slips into bile duct thereby blocking the flow of bile (liver juice).
- Fever may occur if infection becomes severe.
- But all these symptoms may not be present and others may be present. Hence examination by your doctor is very crucial to diagnose or rule-out gall stone pain.
- It usually occurs in females of 20 to 40 but no age is immune and many males also have gall stones.

Causes:
There are many reasons for it and it is usually impossible to find out exact cause in most patients. Too much cholesterol, too much bilirubin, or not enough bile salts in bile can cause gall stones.
Gall Bladder Surgery (Jalandhar ) is required in following conditions:
- Gall bladder containing stones which are causing symptoms (sometimes even without symptoms).
- Gall bladder containing large polyps.
- Inflammation of gall bladder.
- If gall bladder stones have slipped to bile duct (choledocholithiasis).
- If gall bladder stones have caused pancreatitis (inflammation of pancreas).
Complications from Gall Stones:
- Cholecystitis – Inflammation of gall bladder.
- Mucocoele of gall bladder – Gall bladder is filled with clear fluid.
- Empyema of gall bladder – Gall bladder is filled with pus.
- Gangrene of gall bladder – Gall bladder becomes blackish due to cut-off of its blood supply.
- Perforation of gall bladder – Gall bladder ruptures due to gangrene.
- CBD stone – Stone from gall bladder can slip into common bile duct (choledocholithiasis).
- Jaundice – Slipped stone into bile duct blocks bile coming from liver leading to jaundice. It usually requires a separate procedure (ERCP) to remove slipped stone and gall bladder surgery is done later.
- Pancreatitis – Inflammation of pancreas due to slipped stone from gall bladder.
Diagnosis:
- Examination by doctor – After taking appropriate history, surgeon will examine abdomen of patient to look for signs of inflammation in gall bladder like pain on pressing right upper abdomen etc.
- Blood Tests – It may show signs of infection like high leukocyte count, alteration in liver tests etc.
- Ultrasound of abdomen – It very sensitive in picking up stones in gall bladder. It also shows complications arising out of gall stones like swelling of gall bladder wall, slippage of gall stones etc.
- MRI (MRCP) – Some patients may require this test if their ultrasound and blood tests create a doubt of complication but ultrasound is not able to give clear answer.
- CT scan – Some patients may require to undergo CT scan in case there is doubt of ultrasound that gall bladder may have a tumour.
Treatment:
- Once the diagnosis of gall stones is confirmed and you have any symptom because of gall stones, surgery is generally recommended. Once gall bladder has been removed, you can not have same problem again as the organ will be removed during surgery.
- Open Surgery – Involves about 5 to 7 cm incision in right upper abdomen to remove appendix.
- Laparoscopic or Key Hole Surgery – Usually involves four very small cuts, one for camera and three for instruments used to perform the surgery. Size of the cuts vary from 0.5 cm to maximum of 1 cm. After few months, these cuts are hardly visible in most individuals. Usually two are of just 0.5 cm and two is of 1 cm. In mini-laparoscopic surgery, some cuts can be further reduced to 0.23 cm. In single incision surgery, this can be done through a single incision hidden inside umbilicus.
- Mini Laparoscopic Surgery – This method uses even smaller instruments as compared to Laparoscopic Surgery thereby making it even more cosmetic and less painful. Recovery is also quicker. But since mini-lap instruments are very delicate, this can be bit more expensive as compared to routine laparoscopic gall bladder surgery.
- Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery – SILS – In this technique a single incision is given inside or around umbilicus (navel) thereby hiding the scar there. This is more cosmetic as compared to Laparoscopic Surgery. This may involve special instruments making it a bit costly as compared to routine key hole surgery.
Advantages of Laparoscopic Appendicectomy over Open Surgery:
- Smaller incision (cut) and scar.
- Better visualization of inside abdomen so as to diagnose any other pathology.
- Less chances of infection of wound (cut from where gall bladder is removed).
- Lesser pain, quicker recovery and discharge from hospital.
- Much better cosmetic result.
