The Biliary apparatus includes the bile ducts from the liver connecting to the second part of the intestine. The gallbladder is a small pouch that acts as a storage organ for bile. The bile duct transports bile, which helps in the breakdown of lipids in our diet so that they can be absorbed by the body. Surgery of the biliary tract includes treatment of diseases which affect the gallbladder, bile passage namely the common hepatic duct and common bile duct.

FAQs

1. What conditions require biliary surgery?

Biliary surgery is needed for conditions affecting the bile ducts or gallbladder, such as gallstones, inflammation (cholecystitis), bile duct obstruction, or tumors. Surgery helps relieve pain, prevent infection, and restore normal bile flow.

2. How do I find the best gallbladder specialist in Bangalore?

Look for a general or hepatobiliary surgeon with experience in gallbladder and bile duct surgeries. At Sakra World Hospital, patients have access to skilled surgeons with advanced training in both open and laparoscopic biliary procedures.

Yes. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the preferred method for gallbladder removal. It uses small incisions, causes less pain, results in faster recovery, and leaves minimal scarring.

4. What is the recovery process after biliary surgery?

After laparoscopic surgery, most patients can go home the same or next day. Mild discomfort may last a few days, and normal activities can usually resume within 1–2 weeks. Open surgery may require a longer recovery of 4–6 weeks.

Gallbladder surgery is generally safe, but risks include infection, bleeding, injury to nearby structures, bile leakage, or reactions to anesthesia. Sakra Hospital follows strict safety protocols to minimize these risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
