Dr. Ashish Gautam has a specialization in gallstone surgery and is committed to providing high-quality, personalized care.
What are gallstones?
Gallstones are solid deposits in the gallbladder, a small organ located below the liver. Stones vary in size, and symptoms vary depending on the size and location of the stone. Some people experience no symptoms, while others experience severe abdominal pain, especially after eating. Our gallbladder removal surgeons have years of experience diagnosing and treating gallstones. We use advanced diagnostic tools to ensure you receive accurate and timely treatment.
How do gallstones form?
To aid in the digestion of fats, the liver produces bile, which is concentrated and stored in the gallbladder. After a meal, the gallbladder releases bile from the intestines and fat digestion begins. Gallstones form when bile accumulates and hardens in the gallbladder. This process is closely related to diet. If stones move from the gallbladder into the bile ducts, they can cause jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin), a dangerous infection of the bile duct (cholangitis), or inflammation of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis). These complications can be life-threatening and even fatal.
Who gets gallstones?
Gallstones are more common in women, especially those over 60, and people with a family history of gallstones are at higher risk. Gallstone formation often results from an imbalance in the chemical composition of the bile in the gallbladder. Elevated levels of cholesterol in the bile can lead to the formation of cholesterol stones, and excess bilirubin in the bile can lead to the formation of pigment stones.
Signs and Symptoms
Gallstones often present with signs and symptoms, such as:
- Pain in a band around the abdomen
- Sudden pain in the upper right abdomen that may worsen
- Sudden pain in the middle of the abdomen
- Pain between the shoulder blades
- Nausea or vomiting

Cholecystectomy Procedure
Cholecystectomy or gallbladder removal can be performed in two different ways:
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: In this method, four small incisions are made in the abdomen and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted to view the inside of the abdomen. Special surgical instruments are also used to remove the gallbladder. This is the standard method of cholecystectomy.
Open cholecystectomy: In this surgery, one large incision is made in the abdomen to allow direct access to remove the gallbladder. Nowadays, this approach is rarely needed.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most commonly used procedure because it allows for quicker discharge from hospital, faster recovery, and smaller scars compared to open surgery. Both procedures are performed under general anesthesia, so you will be asleep during the procedure and will not feel any pain.
