Gallbladder Surgery in Bhakkar

Gallbladder pain from stones or inflammation often needs surgery once medicines and diet changes stop working. Dr. Shehryar Niazi performs laparoscopic gallbladder removal at his Lahore and Bhakkar clinics.

A common district problem, treated locally

Gallstones are among the most frequent surgical findings on ultrasound reports across Bhakkar district. Many of those reports end up in a drawer because surgery seemed to mean travelling to Multan or Lahore. Laparoscopic gallbladder removal is available at Brigadier Shafiq Trust Hospital, with the keyhole approach as standard and a short stay for most patients.

If you have a report showing stones and pain after oily food, bring the report to the clinic on Main Darya Khan Road. Assessment usually needs one visit.

When it cannot wait

Constant right sided pain with fever, yellowing of the eyes or dark urine points to infection or a stone blocking the bile duct. These signs need same day review, not a scheduled appointment next month. The clinic number is +92 318 7801855; families in Kallur Kot, Darya Khan and Mankera should treat these symptoms as urgent.

After the operation

A single night in the hospital covers most patients, and many go home the same day. The follow up visit checks the small wounds and the histology report of the removed gallbladder. Patients travelling back to Mankera or Kallur Kot get the clinic number for any concern in between, so a question about a dressing does not require a trip.

Diet questions, answered simply

Patients often ask whether life after gallbladder removal means a lifetime of boiled food. It does not. After the first careful weeks, most people in the district return to normal home cooking, adding oil back gradually and noticing what suits them. The body adapts, and the monthly attacks that used to follow every wedding meal stop.
