Diagnosis
The best healthcare professionals discuss the medical history of the patient to identify the gallstones. A CT scan may be carried out to look for any complications of gallstones, such as acute pancreatitis. In this type of scan, a series of X-rays are taken from many different angles. CT scans are often carried out in an emergency to diagnose severe abdominal pain.
Our experts will determine if treatment for gallstones is indicated based on your symptoms and the results of diagnostic testing.
Tests and procedures used to diagnose gallstones and complications of gallstones include:
-
Abdominal ultrasound
-
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
-
Blood tests
-
Other imaging tests Additional tests like oral cholecystography, a hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan, computerised tomography (CT), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Gallstones discovered using ERCP can be removed during the procedure.
Surgery
Gallstone surgery is known as cholecystectomy. Our Experts recommend laparoscopic surgery. Doctors also call this “keyhole surgery.” Your surgeon doesn’t make a big opening in your belly. Instead, they make four small cuts. They insert a very thin, flexible tube that contains a light and a tiny video camera into your belly. These help your surgeon see your gallbladder better. Next, they’ll insert special tools to remove the diseased organ. Gallbladder removal doesn’t affect your ability to digest food. The recovery time is much faster and the healed incision will practically leave no scar
