Gallbladder Surgery in Lahore

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.

Gallstone pain has a pattern: it arrives after meals, sits under the right ribs or the breastbone, and often wakes you at night. Once stones cause attacks, they keep causing them, and each attack risks infection or a blocked bile duct. That is why surgeons advise removing the gallbladder rather than waiting.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most performed keyhole operation in the world and a core part of Dr. Shehryar Niazi's 27,000 plus case experience. At the DHA clinic it is normally a day case or single night stay in a full hospital setting.

Timing matters

The easiest gallbladder to remove is the one that has not been left through repeated infections. Each attack of cholecystitis scars the area and can turn a routine keyhole case into a harder one. If ultrasound has already shown stones and you are getting pain after meals, booking assessment on +92 310 1612820 sooner keeps the operation simple, the scars small and the recovery short.

Recovery after keyhole gallbladder removal

Most patients are drinking within hours and eating light food the same evening. The four small cuts need simple dressings for about a week, and office work is usually possible within days. Living without a gallbladder needs no special diet for most people after the first weeks, though very oily meals are best reintroduced gradually. Any fever, worsening pain or yellowing after discharge should be reported to the clinic straight away.
