Hi,I am Dr. Charles S Narasi (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Gall bladder stone, uterus problems. Advised laparoscopic surgery for stone, open vaginal surgery. Suggestions?
My mother has stone in gall bladder and have uterus problems too.. Doctors have adviced for laproscopic surgery for stone and then open vaginal surgery after 3-4days. My mother has Thyroid problem and haemoglobin is around 10.She already had two stomach operations long back(apendics and cesarean birth)..We are from Patna..AFMC Pune will be good or should we go for Patna only for the surgery..???And what other important suggestions will you give???
Hi,
thanks for writing in HCM.
The first issue is which problem is causing symptoms? Gallstones or the uterine one. The one which is symptomatic needs to be attended first. Allow a gap of at least 12 weeks for full recovery until you consider the second surgery. Operating both the conditions at an interval of 3-4 days in a patient with medical problems could cause complications. Hence it is wiser to play self and allow the patient to full tolerate each surgery properly.The place where you get operated does not matter. what matters is the qualifications and expertise of the surgeon.
