About Lalitha Rajendra's Treatment
Lalitha Rajendra came to Medicover Hospitals, Nashik with Acute Calculus Cholecystitis, a painful gallbladder condition caused by gallstones blocking the bile passage. As she also had a history of hypertension, her treatment required a careful multidisciplinary approach to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
Under the expert care of Dr G. B. Singh (Consultant - Surgical Gastroenterology), she underwent a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. With thorough pre-operative assessment and attentive post-operative care, Lalitha experienced a smooth and timely recovery. Her journey highlights how timely surgery and coordinated care can relieve severe pain and prevent future complications.
In the Patient Words
"Lalitha Rajendra shared her heartfelt gratitude to Dr G. B. Singh and the Medicover Hospitals staff, appreciating their support, guidance, and compassionate care throughout her treatment and hospital stay."
What is Acute Calculus Cholecystitis?
Acute Calculus Cholecystitis is a sudden inflammation of the gallbladder caused when a gallstone obstructs the cystic duct. This blockage prevents the drainage of bile, leading to swelling, infection, and sharp abdominal pain.
Common symptoms include:
- Severe upper right abdominal pain
- Pain that worsens with deep breathing or movement
- Fever and chills
- Nausea and vomiting
Treatment typically begins with pain relief and antibiotics, but in most cases, gallbladder removal surgery (Cholecystectomy) is necessary to prevent complications such as perforation or recurrent attacks.
What Treatment did we provide to Lalitha Rajendra at Medicover?
Because of her advanced symptoms and gallstone blockage, a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy was recommended as the most effective solution. Considering her hypertension, the team first ensured she was medically fit for surgery before proceeding.
This minimally invasive procedure offers key benefits:
- Smaller incisions with less post-operative pain
- Reduced risk of infection and complications
- Quicker healing and shorter hospital stay
With dedicated monitoring and coordinated nursing care, Lalitha recovered well and was discharged in a stable and comfortable condition, ready to return to a healthier lifestyle.
