Best Gallbladder Stones Surgeon in Hyderabad
Gall Bladder is situated in the upper right side of abdomen just below the liver and attached to it. Bile produced in the liver is stored in the gall bladder and released via the bile ducts into the intestine when a person is having a meal. Normally it empties 3 to 4 times a day so that there is no time for stone formation. When the gall bladder loses this function usually due to infections or dietary alterations,there is stasis of bile which leads to precipitation of salts leading to stone formation. If one identifies a stone in the gall bladder it usually means it has lost it’s function. Complications can be very devastating especially in Diabetic patients. Acute infection can lead to sepsis and loss of life also. A stone can migrate into the ducts and cause jaundice requiring additional procedures for their removal. It can also cause Acute Pancreatitis with it’s consequences
