Advanced Gallbladder & Biliary Surgery by Dr. Santhosh R

The gallbladder and bile ducts play a vital role in digestion by storing and transporting bile, which helps break down fats. Diseases affecting these organs—such as gallstones, bile duct obstruction, congenital anomalies, or cancers—can lead to severe pain, jaundice, and life-threatening complications.

Dr. Santhosh R provides expert surgical care for gallbladder and biliary conditions, combining advanced laparoscopic, robotic, and open techniques to ensure safe, effective, and long-lasting results.

Specialized Surgical Services

1. Radical Surgery for Gallbladder & Bile Duct Cancer

Cancers of the gallbladder and bile ducts are aggressive and require precise surgical removal. Dr. Santhosh performs radical procedures tailored to the patient’s condition, aiming to:

• Completely remove the tumor
• Excise affected lymph nodes for accurate staging
• Restore normal bile flow wherever possible
• Improve long-term survival rates

2. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

One of the most common surgeries for gallbladder stones and inflammation, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is minimally invasive and offers:

• Small incisions
• Reduced postoperative pain
• Short hospital stay
• Faster return to normal activities

3. Lap/ Robotic CBD Exploration & Choledocho-Duodenostomy

For patients with common bile duct (CBD) stones or strictures, laparoscopic or robotic exploration allows safe removal of stones or blockage. In complex cases, choledocho-duodenostomy is performed to create a direct connection between the bile duct and the duodenum, ensuring smooth bile drainage.

4. Choledochal Cyst Excision & Hepatico-Jejunostomy (Roux-en-Y)

Choledochal cysts are rare congenital dilations of the bile ducts that can lead to infection, obstruction, or cancer if untreated. Surgical excision of the cyst with Roux-en-Y hepatico-jejunostomy restores bile flow safely and reduces long-term risks.

5. Bile Duct Repair for Injuries

Bile duct injuries, sometimes occurring after gallbladder surgery or trauma, can cause severe complications such as bile leaks or strictures. Dr. Santhosh provides advanced bile duct repair techniques, including reconstructive surgeries, to restore function and prevent long-term liver damage.
