When a gallbladder assessment is worth arranging

Most people book a consultation after a scan result or a run of symptoms. A consultation helps confirm what is happening and whether anything needs to be done.

  • Gallstones reported on an ultrasound or CT scan
  • Repeated pain below the right ribs, often an hour or two after eating
  • Pain with nausea, bloating or discomfort after fatty or heavy meals
  • A gallbladder polyp noted on imaging
  • Wanting a clear second opinion before agreeing to surgery

The Conditions page covers each of these in more detail.

When symptoms need urgent care, not an appointment

Some symptoms point to a possible complication and should be treated as an emergency rather than waiting for a routine consultation. Seek urgent care if you have:

  • Severe or constant pain below the right ribs or upper abdomen
  • Fever or shivering
  • Yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice)
  • Repeated vomiting or inability to keep fluids down
  • Dark urine or pale stools
  • Chest pain, breathlessness or fainting

In an emergency in the UAE, call 998 or go to the nearest emergency department.

What to bring

Having your paperwork ready keeps the consultation focused and helps avoid a second visit before any decision can be made.

  • Ultrasound or imaging report
  • Blood test results, if you have them
  • List of current medicines and allergies
  • Insurance card or policy details
  • Emirates ID or passport details, if the hospital requests them
  • Earlier discharge summaries or surgical records, if relevant

What to expect at the consultation

A first gallbladder consultation usually follows a straightforward sequence:

  1. Dr Mitra reviews your symptoms, scan findings and medical history.
  2. He advises whether any further tests are needed to be sure of the diagnosis.
  3. You discuss whether treatment is needed. Gallstones that cause no symptoms often do not require treatment, while recurrent symptoms or complications can change the recommendation.
  4. If surgery is the right option, keyhole gallbladder removal and recovery are explained clearly.

The Surgery Journey page walks through laparoscopic cholecystectomy step by step.

If gallbladder surgery is recommended

When removal is advised, it is normally done as laparoscopic (keyhole) cholecystectomy at NMC Specialty Hospital. Dr Mitra will talk through the procedure, what recovery usually looks like, and the specific risks and benefits for your situation, so you can decide with a clear picture. Results depend on your own health and circumstances and are always discussed openly, without pressure.
