I've been having really bad stomach pain and my doctor said I might need gallbladder surgery. Can you tell me how much it usually costs? I'm worried about the expenses but also want to know if it's urgent.

The cost of gallbladder surgery in India varies based on the type of surgery, hospital, and other factors. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (keyhole surgery) typically costs between ‚Çπ80,000 and ‚Çπ1,50,000, while open surgery (a larger incision) ranges from ‚Çπ50,000 to ‚Çπ1,00,000. Robotic surgery is more expensive, potentially costing between ‚Çπ2,00,000 and ‚Çπ5,00,000

View allI have an 18mm gallbladder stone and my doctor recommended surgery to remove the gallbladder. Is this the best treatment option or are there other alternatives I should consider? I'm a bit worried about the surgery and want to understand if it's really necessary for a stone this size. What would you advise?
An 18mm gallbladder stone is quite large and can cause complications like pain, infection, or blockage. Surgery (cholecystectomy) is generally the best and safest treatment to prevent these issues. While non-surgical options exist, they are less effective for stones this size. I recommend discussing the risks and benefits with your surgeon, but surgery is usually advised in your case.
