How Serious Could Multiple Gallbladder Stones With Pain And Swelling Be?
My father has multiple stones in his gall bladdr with severe pain.after ultrasound we came to know.there is also swelling on the wall of it.i want to know is it dangerous? Can the gal bladdr burst? Doctor said we will do surgery after 4 to 5 weeks when swelling will end
Your father is rightly advised for surgery after 4-5 weeks .Findings suggests acute calculus cholecystitis means acute infection of gall bladder due to calculus. Definitive treatment in this condition is surgical removal of gall bladder but it is wise to operate after control of infection.There can be more complications if it is operated at this stage. Surgery can be done laproscopically.Recovery is fast by this procedure.
Present condition can be managed by antibiotics and analgesics.Don't worry about this.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
