The gallbladder is a small organ located below the liver. It stores bile, a digestive fluid made by the liver. Gallbladder stones, also called gallstones, are hard deposits that form inside the gallbladder.

These stones can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. Some people have just one stone while others can have many at the same time. In some cases, gallbladder polyps also develop inside the gallbladder wall. Gallbladder polyps treatment in Bangalore is also available at Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi’s clinic for patients who need it.

Gallstones are one of the most common digestive problems seen in India today. If left untreated, they can lead to serious complications like infection, jaundice, or even gallbladder cancer.

Gallstones form when the balance of substances in bile is disturbed. Common causes include:

• Too much cholesterol in bile leading to cholesterol stones
• Too much bilirubin in bile leading to pigment stones
• Obesity and being overweight
• Rapid weight loss or crash dieting
• Eating a high-fat and low-fibre diet
• Diabetes and insulin resistance
• Pregnancy and hormonal changes
• Family history of gallstones
• Prolonged fasting or skipping meals

Understanding the root cause helps Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi plan the most effective treatment for each patient.

Many people with gallstones do not feel any symptoms at first. But when symptoms appear, they can be quite uncomfortable. Common symptoms include:

• Sudden and severe pain in the upper right side of the abdomen
• Pain that spreads to the right shoulder or back
• Nausea and vomiting after eating fatty or oily food
• Bloating and indigestion
• Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice)
• Dark-coloured urine or pale-coloured stools
• Fever with chills if infection is present

If you notice any of these symptoms, do not ignore them. Early treatment prevents serious complications.

As a leading gallbladder surgeon in Bangalore, Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi uses a detailed and systematic approach to diagnose gallstones. The diagnosis process includes:

• Complete physical examination and medical history review
• Abdominal ultrasound — the most common and reliable test for gallstones
• Blood tests to check liver function and signs of infection
• CT scan or MRI for complex or unclear cases
• MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography) to check the bile ducts
• Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) when needed for detailed imaging

Accurate diagnosis is the first step towards the right treatment. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi ensures no detail is missed before recommending a treatment plan.

Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi offers both non-surgical and surgical treatment options depending on the severity of your condition.

Non-Surgical Treatment: For very mild cases or patients who are not fit for surgery, non-surgical options may be considered temporarily. These include dietary changes, medications to dissolve small cholesterol stones, and close monitoring. However, these options do not provide a permanent cure and stones often return.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy — Gold Standard Treatment: The most effective and permanent treatment for gallbladder stones is laparoscopic cholecystectomy — surgical removal of the gallbladder using keyhole surgery. As the best laparoscopic surgeon in Bangalore, Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi performs this procedure with exceptional precision and skill.

• Only 3 to 4 small cuts instead of one large incision
• Minimal blood loss during surgery
• Less post-operative pain and discomfort
• Short hospital stay of 1 to 2 days
• Faster recovery and return to normal life within a week
• Very low risk of complications

1. Robotic Cholecystectomy: For complex cases, Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi also performs robotic cholecystectomy using the latest robotic surgical technology. As a highly skilled robotic surgeon in Bangalore, he uses robotic assistance for superior precision, better visualisation, and improved patient outcomes.
2. ERCP for Bile Duct Stones: If stones are also found in the bile duct, Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi performs ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) to remove them. This is a non-surgical endoscopic procedure that clears the bile duct without any cuts.
3. Gallbladder Polyps Treatment in Bangalore: If you have been diagnosed with gallbladder polyps, Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi offers expert gallbladder polyps treatment . Small polyps are monitored regularly with ultrasound. Larger polyps or those with suspicious features are treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy to prevent the risk of cancer.
