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.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I recently had my gall bladder removed, it's been about 10 days now, and they've taken the stitches out. I'm wondering when it would be safe to start having sex again. Can you give me any advice or guidelines on this?
It is generally safe to resume sexual activity after gall bladder surgery once your stitches have been removed and your incision site has healed completely. However, it is recommended to wait at least 2-4 weeks after surgery before engaging in sexual activity to allow your body to fully recover. Remember to listen to your body and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
