DR KUMAR- GALLBLADDER STONE SPECIALIST IN CHENNAI
DrKumar at Billroth Hospitals, Chennai, is an Advanced Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgeon and Gallbladder Stone Specialist with more than 29 years of surgical experience. He has performed over 5,000 gallbladder surgeries, including complex and complicated cases, with extensive experience in minimally invasive gallbladder treatment.
Gallbladder stones may cause pain in the upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, bloating, fever, jaundice or recurrent attacks after meals. In some patients, gallstones may also lead to complications such as gallbladder inflammation, bile duct obstruction or pancreatitis. DrKumar evaluates the patient’s symptoms, ultrasound findings, medical history and overall condition before recommending the most appropriate treatment. Importantly, the presence of gallstones on a scan alone does not automatically mean that surgery is required.
For patients who require surgery, Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is commonly used for symptomatic gallstones. DrKumar has extensive experience performing laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, including difficult cases involving severe inflammation and complex gallbladder conditions. The laparoscopic approach uses small incisions and can help suitable patients experience less postoperative discomfort, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.
Robotic Gallbladder Surgery or Robotic Cholecystectomy may also be considered for selected patients. Robotic technology provides the surgeon with enhanced visualisation and precise instrument control, which can be useful in carefully selected or complex cases. Open gallbladder surgery remains an option when the patient’s condition, anatomy or surgical findings make it the safer or more appropriate approach.
With expertise across Open, Robotic and Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery, DrKumar at Billroth Hospitals focuses on accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment selection, surgical safety and patient-focused care. His extensive experience in both routine and complex gallbladder surgery makes him a trusted choice for patients seeking specialised gallbladder stone treatment in Chennai.
