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.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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'm a 30-year-old active guy who plays sports and my wedding is coming up in April 2022. Just found out I have small bilateral inguinal hernias. Wondering if I should get the surgery done now or if it's okay to wait until after the wedding since I don't want it to affect my big day or recovery
It's generally recommended to repair bilateral inguinal hernias, even if they are small, due to the risk of complications like strangulation. However, the timing of the surgery can be discussed with your surgeon based on your individual needs and priorities.

My pilonidal sinus burst and drained a lot of white pus and blood. Should I still get surgery or can I just take pimple healing meds and antibiotics?
While antibiotics might help with the infection after a pilonidal sinus burst, surgery is likely still needed, especially if the sinus is chronic or keeps recurring. Antibiotics alone won't fully address the underlying issue of the sinus and the need for complete removal. See a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options, including potential surgery or incision and drainage, to prevent recurrence and further complications

I have an 11mm supra umbilical hernia and my doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery but I'm confused because it still involves a 15mm incision for the port. Wouldn't open surgery be a better option since the incision size is almost the same? Is my thinking correct medically?
While a 15mm incision for the laparoscopic port might seem comparable to an open surgery, laparoscopic surgery still offers advantages like reduced pain, faster recovery, and potentially lower complication rates. The laparoscopic approach uses multiple small incisions, not just one larger one, and the surgical view provided by the laparoscope can offer precision and potentially less manipulation of surrounding tissues.
