Gallbladder disorders often cause intense pain in the upper right abdomen that can radiate to the back. This condition is commonly caused by gallstones blocking the bile duct, leading to inflammation (cholecystitis). If left untreated, the inflammation can become chronic and lead to serious complications.
At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, gallbladder removal can now be performed using a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, allowing patients to recover faster with only very small incisions. One patient from Cikupa personally experienced the benefits of this advanced procedure, performed by dr. Ocsyavina, Sp.B, Subsp.BD (K) — a digestive surgeon at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.

From Severe Abdominal Pain to Gallstone Diagnosis
A 35-year-old patient from Cikupa initially experienced severe pain in the upper abdomen radiating to the back, making it difficult to breathe. After undergoing tests at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, gallstones were detected in the gallbladder. Because the stones were still small, the patient was initially treated conservatively.
However, eight months later, the pain returned. Further examination revealed thickening of the gallbladder wall, indicating chronic inflammation. Based on these findings, the medical team led by dr. Ocsyavina recommended laparoscopic cholecystectomy — a minimally invasive gallbladder removal procedure — to prevent recurrence and avoid future complications.
This case highlights the important role of lifestyle in gallstone formation. A high-fat diet, lack of exercise, and irregular sleep patterns can trigger the buildup of bile “sludge” that later forms stones.
During the eight-month treatment period, the patient was mostly symptom-free. However, gallstones can suddenly move into the bile duct and cause acute pain attacks without warning. Because of this risk, gallbladder removal remains the most definitive solution to prevent recurrence.
Minimally Invasive Surgery with Quick Recovery
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed through several small incisions in the abdomen using a camera-equipped laparoscope. This allows dr. Ocsyavina to view and remove the gallbladder with high precision — without the need for open surgery.
This minimally invasive technique enables a fast recovery. Within just three days after surgery, the patient was discharged and able to resume normal activities. Post-surgery pain was very mild and easily managed with medication. The small incision wounds also healed quickly and required no special care.
Throughout the treatment process, the medical team at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri provided comprehensive care — from initial examination and consultation to post-surgery follow-up. dr. Ocsyavina explained every step of the procedure in detail and offered the best recommendations tailored to the patient’s condition. Her clear communication and the use of minimally invasive techniques played a major role in ensuring a smooth and speedy recovery.
