About gallstones
If you have gallstones and are likely to have surgery to remove your gall bladder, then you may find this information useful. We have tried to keep things simple and brief. The information given here is not meant to be a substitute for a discussion with your doctor or nurse.
Why do Gallstones form?
Women, particularly between the ages of 20 and 60 years, are more likely to form gallstones than men. In general, those over 60 (men and women) are at a higher risk of developing gallstones.
What problems can gallstones cause?
Often, gallstones remain “silent” and do not cause any symptoms at all. Silent gallstones are usually discovered by accident when tests are done for other problems.
Surgery for gallstones
Gallstones are best treated by an operation that removes the gallbladder. Some medicines do exist that may gradually dissolve gallstones, if taken over a period of time.
Patient Testimonials
I feel extremely fortunate to have been referred to Mr Satyadas. I recently had my gall bladder removed. I couldn’t have wished for more caring or professional care. It was carried out as keyhole surgery and after 6 weeks the scars remaining are virtually non existent. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Satyadas to anyone.
