What are signs and symptoms?

  • Flatulence
  • Bloating or having chronic digestive problems after consuming high-fat diets
  • Severe and sudden pain in the upper right abdomen
  • Pain that radiates to right shoulder or back (between shoulder blades)
  • High fever and chills
  • Nausea and vomiting (mainly from cholecystitis or inflammation of gallbladder)
  • Jaundice, dark urine or pale stool (if there is an obstruction in bile duct, affecting the draining of biliary system)

What are causes?

  • Cholesterol gallstones: The amount of cholesterol in bile becomes too high and the excess cholesterol forms into stones in the gallbladder
  • Pigment gallstones: Major causes might originate from the abnormalities of blood such as hemolytic anemia and liver diseases such as jaundice and cirrhosis. 
  • Mixed gallstones: As the mixture of both cholesterol and pigment gallstones, mixed gallstones typically arise secondary to the infection of the biliary tract, liver and pancreas.

How can gallstone be surgically treated?

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Bangkok Hospital

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove gallbladder. It is performed through small incisions made in the abdomen and umbilicus instead of making an open large cut in the abdomen. The surgical instruments are inserted via these small incisions such as a 4K/HD laparoscope, a narrow tube with a camera.
  • As an advanced procedure, this allows surgeons to clearly visualize all dimensions of gallbladder on a screen before having it removed accurately and safely through small incisions. 
  • With laparoscopic cholecystectomy, smaller incisions cause less pain after surgery with fewer complications such as less blood loss and lower rates of post-operative infections. Patients thus have a faster recovery time and shorter of hospital stay resulting in a quick return to daily activities.
