A member asked:

Help please? what is the best way to get through a mild gallbladder attack?

Dr. Shyamali Singhal answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Surgery: Biliary colic is due to stones in the gallbladder that obstruct the duct. It is extremely painful. Sometimes a lowfat diet and nothing to eat except liquids can mitigate the pain, but in general to prevent acute cholecystitis, and pancreatitis, the gallbladder needs to be removed.

I am having my gallbladder removed. Which kind of surgery is best? I was told to either do the 1 cut through the bellybutton or the 1 cut plus 3 additional small cuts on my right side. Which one will be less painful and have less issues?
