My mom is 70 and has asthma but also gallstones. Is it safe for her to have surgery for the gallstones given her asthma condition? I'm really worried about the risks
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to be concerned about your mother's safety, especially with both asthma and gallstones. While asthma does increase the risk of complications during surgery, with proper planning and management, a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) can be performed safely in elderly patients with asthma

Can I get my inguinal hernia mesh repair and gallbladder removal surgery done at the same time since I have 1011 small gallstones? Is combining these procedures safe and how long would the recovery take?
Yes, it's generally safe to combine inguinal hernia mesh repair and gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) surgery at the same time, especially if the gallbladder removal is done laparoscopically. This approach can potentially reduce hospital costs and increase patient satisfaction. Recovery time would typically be 4-6 weeks, with a slower recovery for open hernia repair.
