✅ Step-by-Step Gallstones Treatment Procedure

1. Patient Evaluation & Diagnosis

• Detailed consultation to assess symptoms like upper abdominal pain (especially after meals), bloating, nausea, or vomiting

• Physical examination and diagnostic tests such as:

  • Abdominal Ultrasound (most common and accurate)

  • Liver function tests

  • MRCP or CT Scan (if needed for complications)

2. Treatment Planning

• Discussion of treatment options based on gallstone size, symptoms, and complications

• Surgery is usually recommended for:

  • Symptomatic gallstones

  • Repeated gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis)

  • Gallstone pancreatitis or bile duct stones

• Patient counseling and pre-operative preparation

3. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder Removal)

• Performed under general anesthesia

• Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery with 3–4 small incisions

• Gallbladder with stones is removed safely using a camera-guided system

• Benefits:

  • Less pain

  • Minimal scarring

  • Quicker recovery

  • Short hospital stay (usually same day or next day discharge)

4. Post-Operative Care

• Monitoring for a few hours after surgery

• Pain management and gradual reintroduction of food

• Discharge with instructions on activity, diet, and wound care

• Most patients resume normal activities within a week

5. Follow-Up & Dietary Advice

• Follow-up appointment to review recovery

• Long-term dietary advice to support digestion (avoid high-fat meals)

• No long-term complications expected in most cases
