A member asked:
Got diagnosed with gallbladder stone and jaundice. is it safe to go ahead with the gallbladder removal surgery during jaundice or should i wait for the jaundice to recover before having the surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the jaundice is from obstruction of the bile duct, it will not resolve without surgery. Your surgeon and anesthesiologist will assess your fitness for surgery. Wish you good health!
