Gallstones Treatment
Gallstones (cholelithiasis) are hardened deposits of digestive fluid, cholesterol, and bilirubin that form inside the gallbladder. When stones block the bile ducts, they trigger severe crampy upper abdominal pain (biliary colic), often radiating to the back or right shoulder after greasy meals.
Dr. Majethiya Jalpesh offers detailed ultrasound correlation, liver function testing, and painless laparoscopic cholecystectomy to permanently rid patients of pain and prevent severe complications like jaundice and acute pancreatitis.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sudden, intensifying pain in the upper right abdomen or center of abdomen, pain spreading to the right shoulder blade, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and bloating after fatty meals.
No. Gallbladder stones are located in the biliary system, not the kidneys, so they cannot pass into urine. If they attempt to pass into the bowel, they can get lodged in the narrow bile duct, causing jaundice and severe pancreatitis.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the only globally approved, permanent cure. It safely removes the stone-producing gallbladder with minimal pain and fast recovery.
Liquid diet is typically started within 6 to 8 hours post-surgery, transitioning to a light soft diet the next morning.
