Gall bladder stones are a very common ailment. Gallbladder Removal Surgery in Mumbai or laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed general surgeries. Myths and fear of surgery sometimes lead to delay in treatment and may give rise to complications that could have been avoided. If you are detected with stones in the gall bladder, please do visit your surgeon for the right advice.
Best doctor or surgeon for gall bladder surgery has the following attributes:
- Adequate training in laparoscopic surgery- Although gall bladder surgery is one of the commonest surgical procedures being performed, it is important that your surgeon has received adequate training in laparoscopic surgery.
- Experience- While choosing your surgeon, do make a note of his/her experience in this surgery. Age alone may not be the right marker for judging the experience of a surgeon. It depends on the volume of work that a surgeon has performed.
- Patience- Best surgeons are usually most patient and empathetic. They will give you enough time, listen to you and explain everything in detail.
- Honesty- Best surgeons are usually honest. They will be upfront about the complication rate after any particular surgical procedure. It is important for the patient to be educated about all the pros and cons of the surgery.
- Fame: Fame alone may not exactly be the best marker for deciding the best surgeon. Best surgeons do tend to be famous, however many a times famous surgeons may not be the best of the lot.
- Internet ratings and reviews- Many patients look at internet ratings and reviews before deciding on a surgeon. However, this alone must not be a deciding factor. One must look at the holistic picture and not just google ratings.
At the end of the day, a best surgeon is one with whom you feel the most comfortable and safe. If your gut tells you to get operated with a particular surgeon, you must go ahead. Gut feelings are usually right!
