Gallstone Surgery: A Quick, Effective, and Modern Solution

At Princ Hospital Lamphun, we understand the discomfort and potential complications associated with gallstones. That's why we offer advanced, minimally invasive gallbladder surgery using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, ensuring a swift recovery and excellent outcomes for our patients.

The Gallbladder and Gallstones 

The gallbladder is a small organ located in the abdomen that stores bile produced by the liver. Gallstones can form when cholesterol or other substances crystallize and accumulate in the gallbladder, leading to painful symptoms and potential complications.

Risk Factors While anyone can develop gallstones, certain factors increase the risk, including:

• Being female
• Age over 40
• Obesity, diabetes, and blood disorders
• Regular alcohol consumption

Symptoms

 Common symptoms of gallstones include:

• Bloating, indigestion, and pain in the upper right abdomen or epigastric area, often after meals
• Potential jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes) and fever, indicating bile duct obstruction or inflammation

Treatment Options At Princ Hospital Lamphun, we offer two effective surgical approaches to treat gallstones and prevent recurrence:

1. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Minimally Invasive): This advanced technique involves small incisions and specialized instruments, resulting in minimal scarring, reduced pain, and a faster recovery time. It is the preferred option for most patients without acute inflammation.
2. Open Cholecystectomy (Traditional): While less common, this approach may be recommended for severe inflammation, perforation, or other complex cases. It involves a larger incision below the ribcage.

Our experienced surgical team will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms and restore your well-being.
