Top Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgeon in Palakollu
For over 9 years, we’ve seen families from all over Palakollu walk into Brundavan Hospitals worried, and walk out pain-free. Dr. B. Manasa MS is a familiar face here. She personally explains every ultrasound report in simple Telugu so you know exactly what’s happening before any decision is made.
Top Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgeon in Palakollu at Brundavan Hospitals
If you’re searching for the top laparoscopic gallbladder surgeon in Palakollu, you don’t need to travel to Bhimavaram or Vijayawada. Brundavan Hospitals is right here on Jetty Tank Road, just a short walk from the Palakollu Head Post Office. Dr. B. Manasa MBBS, MS performs gallbladder surgery here every week.
Gallbladder pain is one of those things that catches people off guard. You eat a plate of mutton curry or a heavy biryani at a wedding, and an hour later there’s a sharp, cramping pain under your right ribs that just won’t settle. Many patients from Penumantra, Poduru, and the surrounding mandals describe exactly this before they come to us.
What sets Dr. Manasa apart is how she handles the appointment itself. She doesn’t rush. She pulls up your ultrasound report, goes through it with you in Telugu, and explains in plain words what the stone is, where it sits, and why removing the gallbladder is, in most cases, the only real solution. No jargon. No confusion.
Why Gallbladder Stones Happen and When They Need to Come Out
The gallbladder sits just under the liver and stores bile, which your body needs to digest fat. When cholesterol or bilirubin in the bile starts to crystallise, it forms stones. Some are the size of a grain of sand. Others grow as large as a golf ball. Most people carry them without knowing for years.
The trouble starts the moment a stone shifts and blocks the bile duct. That’s when the pain hits. Sudden, intense, and often mistaken for a heart problem or a muscle spasm. It can 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.
According to the World Health Organization, gallstone disease is among the most common digestive conditions requiring surgery. Laparoscopic removal is the safest and most effective approach available, and it’s 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. But also watch for nausea, a bloated or heavy feeling after eating, and occasional bouts of vomiting. If your skin or the whites of your eyes turn slightly yellow, that’s urgent. It means a stone may have blocked the common bile duct. Come in straight away in that case.
Gallbladder Conditions Dr. Manasa Treats at Brundavan Hospitals
Not every gallbladder problem looks the same. Some patients come in with one large stone causing attacks. Others arrive with dozens of tiny ones, chronic pain, or inflammation that’s been building for months. 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 inflammation 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 temporarily 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. Larger or growing polyps are removed to prevent them from becoming a bigger concern over time.
Obstructive Jaundice
Skin and eyes turn yellow when a stone blocks the main bile duct. This is urgent. Come to Brundavan Hospitals immediately if you notice this.
Why Patients in Palakollu Choose Dr. B. Manasa for Gallbladder Surgery
Choosing a surgeon is personal. Most people here 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 surrounding mandals come to us when these problems start affecting daily life. If you recognise any of these, 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.
During the Surgery
- Three to four tiny keyhole cuts in the abdomen
- A small camera guides the whole procedure
- The gallbladder is removed 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
- Medications and history review with Dr. Manasa
- Anaesthesia fitness check
- Pre-surgery instructions given in Telugu
🍛 What Recovery Actually Looks Like
- Day 1 You rest at the hospital. Mild soreness around the incisions is normal. Most patients sleep comfortably by the evening.
- Day 2 Most patients go home in the morning. You’ll walk out on your own. No stretcher, no wheelchair in most cases.
- Day 4 Most of 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 around the house, normal conversations, watching TV. No heavy lifting yet.
- Week 2 Dr. Manasa’s follow-up visit. She checks healing, adjusts diet advice if needed, and clears you for a gradual return to work.
The Ministry of Health India recognises laparoscopic cholecystectomy as the standard of care for symptomatic gallstone disease. Brundavan Hospitals follows these national surgical guidelines for every procedure performed in Palakollu.
