BD(K), a digestive surgery specialist practicing at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.
What was the patient’s experience undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri like? Here’s the story.
Comfortable Experience, Fast Recovery, and Handled by a Specialist
A 43-year-old patient from Jakarta shared their experience of undergoing gallbladder removal surgery at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.
The patient initially experienced intermittent pain in the upper abdomen. At first, they assumed it was just acid reflux. The patient received pain relief injections from a general practitioner, which initially helped relieve the symptoms.
However, a few months later, the same pain returned. This time, the injections no longer worked. The patient decided to undergo further examination and was eventually admitted to the hospital.
An ultrasound revealed swelling, fluid buildup, and pus in the gallbladder. The doctor recommended gallbladder removal surgery as the best solution.
After doing some research and receiving recommendations from a relative who had undergone similar treatment at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, the patient decided to have the surgery there, under the care of dr. Emerson.
According to the patient, dr. Emerson was very communicative and clearly explained the procedure, associated risks, and recovery process. This helped the patient feel confident and calm about undergoing the surgery.
The procedure was performed using laparoscopic surgery—a minimally invasive technique that requires only three small incisions, each about 1 cm in size. Just two days after surgery, the patient was allowed to go home. Although there was some post-operative pain, it only lasted for about two days.
One week after the surgery, the patient reported feeling significantly better. They resumed daily activities as usual and even returned to regular exercise, including playing badminton 3–4 times a week.
This experience serves as solid proof that proper treatment, adequate facilities, and professional medical staff at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri can provide patients with a fast and comfortable recovery process.
dr. Emerson’s Explanation on the Patient’s Condition and Gallbladder Removal Surgery
dr. Emerson explained that the patient initially experienced a biliary colic attack, which is pain caused by a blockage in the gallbladder area.
“From the examination, we found an infection in the gallbladder area. The MRI showed that pus had formed in the gallbladder,” said dr. Emerson.
“At Mandaya, we perform gallbladder surgery using the laparoscopic method, which allows for faster wound healing and shorter hospital stays. There are also many other advantages to the laparoscopic method, such as the ability to zoom in on the surgical site. This provides a more detailed view of the gallbladder area due to the optical zoom on the laparoscope, enabling us to perform cleaner and more precise dissection,” he explained.
According to dr. Emerson, gallbladder removal surgery typically takes around 60–90 minutes, and the hospital stay usually lasts between 1–3 days.
“If the gallbladder is infected and contains stones, its function is already compromised. Removing the gallbladder in such cases won’t negatively affect the patient,” added dr. Emerson.
