Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Gallstones

Surgical Treatment Options for Gallstones
Cholecystectomy (surgery to remove the gallbladder) is the most common method to treat pigment gallstones. Your doctor may perform the surgery either laparoscopically (minimally invasive) or invasively under general anesthesia.

  • Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
    About 3 or 4 small incisions are made in the abdomen, and then a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and lens is inserted through one of the incisions to remove your gallbladder. You can go home on the same day and resume your routine activities in a week.
  • Open Cholecystectomy
    This surgery is performed when your gallbladder is severely infected, inflamed, or scarred from other surgeries or if problems occur during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During the procedure, your doctor will make larger incisions in your abdomen to remove your gallbladder. You may need to stay in the hospital for a week for further observation. It can take a month to recover and get back to your normal activities.
