At Kasturi Medical Centre, our highly experienced surgeons specialise in the most precise gallbladder laparoscopic surgery in Behala using advanced laparoscopic methods. We ensure safe and accurate procedures, prioritising patient comfort and quick recovery.

Frequently Asked questions
Is gallbladder surgery painful?
No. The use of anaesthesia during the procedure and modern techniques ensure a painless experience. However, most patients experience mild discomfort post-surgery, which is manageable with pain management medication for 3-5 days.
What are gallbladder surgery infection symptoms?
Contact your surgeon immediately if you notice signs, including fever, chills, redness at the incision site and worsening pain.
What's the typical recovery period from laparoscopic surgery?
Most patients resume normal activities within 7-10 days, with full recovery in 4-6 weeks.
Will I need dietary changes after surgery?
Your doctor will suggest minor dietary adjustments initially. However, most patients return to regular eating habits within weeks.
Can I live normally without a gallbladder?
Absolutely. Most people lead completely normal lives after gallbladder removal. Your digestion will also remain normal. However, minor dietary adjustments may help you prevent discomfort. Talk to your doctor or a nutritionist for further assistance.
