Gallbladder Stone Removal(Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy)

Causes: They develop when bile contains too much cholesterol, bilirubin, or when the gallbladder doesn’t empty properly.

What happens: Stones block bile ducts, causing sharp abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, or even infection.

Symptoms: Severe pain in the upper right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and jaundice in severe cases.

Diagnosis: Ultrasound, blood tests, and imaging scans to detect stones and assess complications.

Treatment: Dr. Awadhesh Kumar performs laparoscopic cholecystectomy—minimally invasive surgery using small incisions and a camera to remove the gallbladder. This ensures faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to open surgery.

Ureteral Stone & Urinary Bladder Stone Surgeries:

Stones can form in the urinary tract, either in the ureters or inside the bladder.

Causes: Dehydration, high calcium in urine, recurrent infections, or diet rich in oxalates and salts.

What happens: Stones obstruct urine flow, causing severe pain and risk of infection.

Symptoms: Pain in the lower abdomen, frequent urination, blood in urine, burning sensation while urinating.

Diagnosis: Ultrasound, CT scan, urinalysis, and X-rays.

Treatment: Dr. Awadhesh Kumar uses endoscopic or laser-assisted stone removal techniques to break or extract stones with minimal tissue damage.

Renal (Kidney) Stone Surgery:

Hard deposits of minerals and salts inside the kidney.

Causes: Inadequate hydration, dietary imbalance, certain medical conditions, or genetics.

What happens: Stones block kidney drainage, causing swelling and damage to kidney tissue.

Symptoms: Sharp back or flank pain, blood in urine, nausea, vomiting, fever (if infection develops).

Diagnosis: CT scan, ultrasound, urine analysis, and blood tests.

Treatment: Dr. Awadhesh Kumar uses laparoscopic or endoscopic procedures for removal. For large stones, laser fragmentation is performed.
