I'm trying to find out what the cost of a hernia operation might be at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai or somewhere similar. Also, Im curious about how long someone would need to stay in the hospital afterward. It's all a bit overwhelming, and I just want to get a clear picture of what to expect. Could you help?

Dizziness and blackouts can be concerning, especially after brain tumor surgery.

Hisone-5 (Prednisone 5mg) is a steroid medication, and dizziness is a possible side effect.

However, blackouts are not typically associated with Prednisone.

Other potential causes for her symptoms might include:

Post-surgical complications or residual effects

Medication interactions or side effects from other medications

Consult her doctor or neurosurgeon to discuss these symptoms and determine the best course of action.

Is it possible to just remove gallstones without taking out the whole gallbladder? Some doctors recommend surgery but say the gallbladder needs to be removed entirely. I'd prefer finding a surgeon who can take out only the stones is that an option?

yes advised.

My mom's scan showed a 30mm gallbladder stone and the doctor said she needs surgery. What kind of surgery would they do would it be laser treatment? How exactly do they remove a stone that big? Just worried about how the procedure works and what to expect.

For a 30mm gallbladder stone, the surgery is likely a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which removes the entire gallbladder through small incisions. While laser treatment can be used to fragment stones, it's not the primary method for gallbladder stone removal in this case. The 30mm stone would be removed along with the gallbladder.
