What Can Be Done

Available Treatment Options

Watchful waiting

Gallstones that cause no symptoms may not need surgery. Your doctor will advise whether monitoring is suitable.

Laparoscopic (keyhole) gallbladder removal

The gallbladder is removed through small cuts in the abdomen. This is the usual operation for gallstones that cause symptoms.

Open surgery

A larger cut may be needed in some situations, such as severe inflammation or previous abdominal surgery.

The right treatment is decided only after your doctor has examined you and reviewed your reports.

Your Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I live normally without a gallbladder?

Yes. Bile continues to flow from the liver into the intestine, and most people return to a normal diet after recovery. Your doctor will advise you about food in the first few weeks.

Do all gallstones need surgery?

No. Stones that cause no symptoms often do not need treatment. Surgery is usually advised when stones cause pain or complications.

How long will I stay in hospital?

It depends on the type of surgery and your condition. Your doctor will explain what to expect before the operation.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Bring any scan reports, blood test results and a list of the medicines you take.
