Top Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgeon in Palakollu
For over 9 years, families from Palakollu have walked into Brundavan Hospitals worried and walked out pain-free. Dr. B. Manasa MS is a familiar face here. She explains every ultrasound report in simple Telugu. You know exactly what’s happening before any decision is made.
Top Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgeon in Palakollu at Brundavan Hospitals
Dr. B. Manasa MBBS, MS is the top laparoscopic gallbladder surgeon in Palakollu. You’ll find her at Brundavan Hospitals on Jetty Tank Road, just a short walk from the Palakollu Head Post Office. No need to travel to Bhimavaram or Vijayawada. She performs gallbladder surgery right here every week.
Gallbladder pain catches people off guard. You eat mutton curry or a heavy biryani at a wedding. Then, an hour later, there’s a sharp, cramping pain under your right ribs that just won’t settle. Many patients from Penumantra, Poduru, and nearby mandals describe exactly this before they come to us.
What sets Dr. Manasa apart is how she handles the appointment. There’s no rushing. After pulling up your ultrasound report, she goes through it with you in Telugu. The stone’s location, its size, and why removal is usually the only real solution — all of it explained clearly. No jargon. No confusion.
Why Gallbladder Stones Happen and When They Need to Come Out
The gallbladder sits just under the liver. It stores bile, which your body uses to digest fat. When cholesterol or bilirubin in the bile starts to harden, stones form. Some are the size of a grain of sand, while others grow as large as a golf ball. Most people carry them for years without knowing.
The trouble starts the moment a stone shifts and blocks the bile duct. That’s when the pain hits — sudden and intense, often mistaken for a heart problem or a muscle spasm. It can also shoot up to the right shoulder or into the back. However, once you’ve had one attack, the next one is usually not far off.
The World Health Organization identifies gallstone disease as one of the most common digestive conditions that require surgery. Because of this, laparoscopic removal is now the safest and most effective approach available. It’s also what Dr. Manasa performs at Brundavan Hospitals every week.
Signs That It’s the Gallbladder, Not Something Else
Pain in the upper right abdomen after a heavy or oily meal is the clearest sign. Also watch for nausea, a bloated feeling after eating, and occasional vomiting. If your skin or the whites of your eyes turn slightly yellow, that’s urgent. A stone may have blocked the common bile duct, so come in straight away.
Gallbladder Conditions Dr. Manasa Treats at Brundavan Hospitals
Not every gallbladder problem looks the same. Some patients come in with one large stone. Others arrive with dozens of tiny ones, or chronic pain that has been building for months. Because of this, Dr. Manasa assesses each case individually before recommending surgery.
Gallbladder Stones
The most common reason for gallbladder surgery. Stones cause pain, nausea, and digestive discomfort. Laparoscopic removal ends the cycle for good.
Acute Cholecystitis
Sudden swelling of the gallbladder when a stone blocks the cystic duct. This needs prompt surgery to stop infection from spreading beyond the gallbladder.
Chronic Cholecystitis
Repeated mild attacks over months or years. The gallbladder wall thickens and stiffens. Surgery brings lasting relief from recurring pain cycles.
Biliary Colic
Intense cramping when stones move and briefly block the bile duct. Attacks pass on their own, but they come back. Surgery is the only lasting fix.
Gallbladder Polyps
Small growths on the gallbladder wall. Dr. Manasa removes larger or growing polyps to prevent them from becoming a bigger concern over time.
Jaundice and Blocked Ducts
Skin and eyes turn yellow when a stone blocks the main bile duct. This is urgent. So come to Brundavan Hospitals right away if you notice this.
Why Patients in Palakollu Choose Dr. B. Manasa for Gallbladder Surgery
Choosing a surgeon is personal. Most people in Palakollu ask a friend or a relative before they decide. What they hear about Dr. Manasa and the team at Brundavan Hospitals is usually the same few things.
Tiny Incisions, Fast Healing
We use tiny “keyhole” incisions, not a large cut. Less scarring, less pain, and a much faster return to your daily routine at home.

Gallbladder Symptoms That Bring Patients to Us
People from Palakollu and the nearby mandals come to us when these problems affect daily life. If you recognise any of these symptoms, it’s worth getting an ultrasound done sooner rather than later.
What the Surgery Involves and What Recovery Really Looks Like
Dr. B. Manasa uses laparoscopic cholecystectomy for nearly all gallbladder cases. Here’s what that actually means in practice, in plain terms.
During the Surgery
- Three to four tiny keyhole cuts in the abdomen
- A small camera guides the whole procedure
- Dr. Manasa removes the gallbladder through a small opening
- Most operations finish in 45 to 60 minutes
- You’re under general anaesthesia throughout
Before Surgery (Pre-Op)
- Ultrasound scan to confirm stone location and size
- Blood tests and liver function panel
- Medicines and history review with Dr. Manasa
- Anaesthesia fitness check
- Pre-surgery advice given in Telugu
🍛 What Recovery Actually Looks Like
- Day 1 You rest at the hospital. Mild soreness around the incisions is normal. By the evening, most patients sleep well.
- Day 2 You go home in the morning. You’ll walk out on your own. No stretcher, no wheelchair in most cases.
- Day 4 Our patients are back to eating their favourite home-cooked meals, with a little less oil, by day four.
- Week 1 Light activity resumes. Short walks, talking with family, watching TV. No heavy lifting yet.
