Laparoscopic cholecystectomy - keyhole removal of the gallbladder - is the standard treatment for symptomatic gallstone disease, including biliary colic, cholecystitis, and gallstone pancreatitis. Dr. Lokesh H M performs laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Narayana Multispeciality Hospital and RK Speciality Clinic, Vijayanagar, Mysuru. With 23+ years and 10,000+ gastrointestinal procedures, he brings the surgical experience to manage straightforward cholecystectomies and technically challenging cases - including acutely inflamed gallbladders, difficult Calot's triangle anatomy, and Mirizzi syndrome - with consistent safety and efficiency. Most patients are discharged the same day or the following morning and return to desk work within a week. The gallbladder is not required for normal digestion, and most patients notice no dietary change after its removal.
