Gallbladder Stone Treatment in Delhi NCR : Cost & Recovery
3 months ago
My 60-year-old mother has a 19 mm gallbladder stone and has been facing this issue for about 1.5 years. She recently experienced pain two days ago and has only been taking medicines so far. We live in Greater Noida. We would like to know the recommended treatment for this condition and the approximate cost of surgery or other treatment options.

A 19 mm gallbladder stone is considered relatively large, and if the patient is experiencing repeated pain episodes, the standard and most effective treatment is laparoscopic gallbladder removal (laparoscopic cholecystectomy).
Medicines may temporarily relieve symptoms but usually do not dissolve larger stones permanently. Since she recently had pain, surgery is generally recommended to prevent complications like infection or blockage. The cost of laparoscopic gallbladder surgery can typically range between ₹50,000 to ₹90,000, depending on the hospital and patient condition.
It is advisable to consult a general surgeon with the ultrasound report for proper evaluation and to confirm eligibility before planning the procedure.
