of gallstones
The development of gallstones is promoted by excessive cholesterol levels in the blood, obesity, a diet rich in animal fats, diabetes, and radical weight loss. Women are more likely to get sick than men. Gallstones located in the gallbladder can be single or multiple, of various sizes, and can block the bile ducts. This causes pain in the right subcostal area or in the middle epigastrium. The pain can radiate to the right shoulder blade. Nausea, vomiting, discomfort, and abdominal distension may also occur during an attack of biliary colic

will conduct an interview and perform an ultrasound examination (USG) during
the consultation. The above examination does not require special preparation,
it is completely painless. After conducting the examination and collecting the
necessary information, the doctor may suggest treatment. Recurrent
inflammation, pain is a reason for performing surgery. The operation is
performed laparoscopically due to safety and faster recovery of the patient. In
the case when the patient has massive adhesions, anatomical anomalies, or
massive inflammation of the bile ducts, the doctor may decide to perform the
operation using the open method . All details of the operation and the type of
performance are discussed with the patient during the consultation . The
gallbladder removal procedure is performed with the participation of an
anesthesiologist, which requires the patient to prepare and stay in the Clinic
