Gallbladder surgery, commonly known as cholecystectomy, involves the removal of the gallbladder, typically due to gallstones, inflammation, or other gallbladder disorders. Symptoms that may indicate the need for surgery include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, and digestive discomfort. Dr. Asif Iqbal specializes in both open and minimally invasive laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, providing safe and effective treatment to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Diagnosis includes a combination of physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies such as abdominal ultrasound or CT scans to confirm gallstones or gallbladder inflammation. Accurate evaluation ensures the most appropriate surgical approach. Dr. Asif Iqbal focuses on a detailed assessment to develop an individualized treatment plan.

Treatment Options

Laparoscopic gallbladder removal is the preferred method due to smaller incisions, minimal pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery. Open surgery may be required in complex cases. Dr. Asif Iqbal provides advanced laparoscopic techniques, ensuring precision, faster healing, and improved patient outcomes while minimizing post-operative complications.
