What Is Gallbladder Surgery?
The gallbladder is a small organ located under the liver. It stores bile — a digestive fluid that helps break down fat. When gallstones form or the gallbladder gets inflamed or diseased, it causes severe pain and digestive problems.
Gallbladder surgery is the surgical removal or treatment of a diseased gallbladder. The most common procedure is cholecystectomy — the complete removal of the gallbladder. This is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in India and is very safe when done by an experienced surgeon.
Common symptoms that indicate you may need gallbladder surgery:
- Severe pain in the upper right abdomen especially after meals
- Nausea, vomiting, and bloating
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
- Fever with chills indicating infection
- Pain radiating to the back or right shoulder
- Indigestion and acidity that does not improve with medicines
If you have any of these symptoms, please consult Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi without delay. Early treatment prevents serious complications.
Types of Gallbladder Surgery
Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi offers the most advanced and safest surgical options for all gallbladder conditions. Here are the main types of surgeries he performs:
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy This is the most common and preferred method for gallbladder stone treatment in Bangalore. It is keyhole surgery where the gallbladder is removed through 3 to 4 small cuts. There is very little pain after surgery. Patients go home the same day or the next day and recover within 1 week. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi is one of the best laparoscopic surgeons in Bangalore and has performed thousands of laparoscopic cholecystectomies with excellent results.
Robotic Cholecystectomy In complex gallbladder cases robotic surgery is used for greater precision and control. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi is a trained robotic surgeon in Bangalore and uses robotic technology for difficult gallbladder surgeries. Robotic surgery offers even smaller incisions, less blood loss, and faster recovery.
Open Cholecystectomy In rare and very complex cases open surgery may be needed. A single larger cut is made in the abdomen to remove the gallbladder. This is done when laparoscopic surgery is not possible due to severe inflammation or complications.
Gallbladder Polyps Treatment in Bangalore Gallbladder polyps are small growths on the inner wall of the gallbladder. Most small polyps are harmless and just need regular monitoring. However large polyps above 10mm carry a risk of turning cancerous and need surgical removal. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi offers expert gallbladder polyps treatment in Bangalore and will guide you on whether monitoring or surgery is needed based on your condition.
Gallbladder Stone Treatment in Bangalore Gallstones are solid deposits that form inside the gallbladder. They can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. If stones cause repeated pain, infection, or blockage, gallbladder stone treatment in Bangalore through laparoscopic surgery is the safest and most effective solution. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi has extensive experience in treating all types and sizes of gallstones.

Diet and Lifestyle Tips After Gallbladder Surgery
Following the right diet after gallbladder surgery helps you heal faster and avoids digestive discomfort. Here are simple tips from Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi:
- Start with liquids and soft food for the first few days. Move to solid food slowly as advised by your doctor.
- Eat small and frequent meals instead of large meals. This helps your digestive system adjust after gallbladder removal.
- Avoid oily and fatty foods for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Without the gallbladder your body takes time to digest fat properly.
- Avoid spicy food as it can irritate the digestive system during recovery.
- Eat high-fibre foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This prevents constipation and supports digestion.
- Drink plenty of water. Have 8 to 10 glasses of water daily to support healing and digestion.
- Avoid alcohol completely for at least 4 weeks after surgery.
- Go for light walks from the first day after surgery. Avoid heavy exercise and lifting for 2 to 4 weeks.
