Been through abdominal hernia surgery. Having stone in gall bladder. Not ready for surgery. Suggest what to do?
Patient: i have undergone abdominal hernia surgery in may 2012. i would like to go for a check-p in your hospital. i have also developed a 5mm stone in my gall bladder. i am worried as i am not mentally ready for further surgery. please suggest what to do. Dr. Riju Kakati Sarma, Asstt professor, dept of botany, Pandu College , Guwahati, Assam. Doctor: Hi Gall bladder has to be removed for Gallstone disease when there is pain in the upper part of the abdomen on right side below rib cage. Gallstones are diagnosed incidentally many times.They will cause no symptoms in many people throughout their life. So,if there is no pain,surgery is not needed. Nothing to worry Wish you good health Regards
