About Laparoscopic Gallbladder Stone Surgery
Laparoscopic gallbladder stone surgery is the safest and most common way to remove gallstones in Bangalore today. Instead of a large cut on your belly, Dr. Adarsh M. Patil makes just 4 tiny holes (each smaller than your fingernail) and uses a tiny camera to see inside and gently remove the gallbladder along with the stones. The whole surgery usually takes less than 45 minutes. Most patients go home the same day or the next morning, feel very little pain, and are back to their normal routine within a week. Dr. Adarsh has performed over 10,000 surgeries and trained in Belgium and the USA, making him one of the most experienced and best doctors for laparoscopic gallbladder stone surgery in Bangalore.
Signs & Symptoms
Sharp pain in the upper right side of your belly, especially after eating oily or heavy food
Feeling sick to your stomach or vomiting after meals
Bloating, gas, and a heavy feeling in the abdomen
Fever with chills — this may mean your gallbladder is infected and needs urgent attention
Yellowing of your skin or eyes (jaundice) — this can happen if a stone blocks the bile duct
Pain that spreads to your right shoulder or back
Repeated episodes of ‘acidity’ or indigestion that don’t improve with medication

Recovery Timeline
Most patients wake up feeling comfortable. You can sip water within a few hours and eat light food by evening. Many go home the same day.
Take it easy at home. Walk around gently. You can eat normal food but avoid very oily meals for a week or two. Mild soreness at the tiny incision sites is normal.
Most people return to desk jobs and light work. You can drive, climb stairs, and do household chores. Avoid lifting heavy objects (more than 5 kg).
Resume all activities including exercise, gym, and heavy lifting. The tiny scars will continue to fade over the next few months.
