What Are The Complication For Gall Stone Surgery?
Hello Doctor
My mother, age 63 years, had been suffering from gall stones for over 3 years now. The size of the gall stone is 12mm which is floating. She was on homoeo care, result was that the size of the gall stones did not increase but neither have they decreased. The homoeo doctor has advised her to go for a laproscopy. I wish to ask you what are the possible complications post-laproscopy? How can we prevent or reduce them, if possible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Noted you have gall stone with size 12 mm.
So it has to be removed...as big stone can lead inflammation of gall bladder wall and other complications....
Laproscopically it can be removed...
As far as complications are concerned here are few complications.....
-infection
-bleeding
-bile leakage that can lead fever
-diarrhea
-stomach upset etc ...
After gall bladder removal high fatty food avoided as no bile reservoir present....
Hope your concern solved....
Take care.
