Comprehensive care for gallbladder stones and inflammation includes rapid evaluation with specialist consultation, blood tests, and first-line abdominal ultrasound, with MRCP or EUS when bile duct stones are suspected. Definitive treatment for symptomatic gallstones and acute or chronic cholecystitis is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, typically as a day-care or short-stay procedure that offers smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. When common bile duct stones are present, coordinated endoscopic therapy (ERCP) is arranged before or after surgery for safe stone clearance. Most patients resume light activities in about one week, supported by personalized advice on pain control, diet, wound care, and follow-up. Immediate medical attention is advised for severe continuous right upper abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, dark urine, pale stools, or persistent vomiting.
