Gall bladder stones are a very common ailment. Gall Stone Surgery in Mumbai or laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed general surgeries. Myths and fear of surgery sometimes lead to delay in treatment and may give rise to complications that could have been avoided. If you are detected with stones in the gall bladder, please do visit your surgeon for the right advice.
Best hospital for gall bladder surgery/laparoscopic cholecystectomy has the following attributes:
- Good infrastructure- Most of the times gall bladder surgery is performed by laparoscopic technique. Best hospitals are usually well-equipped and have good infrastructure. A good quality laparoscopy system, a good anesthesia machine and an energy device are must haves.
- Anesthesia team- Anesthesia is one of the most important components of any surgical procedure. Best hospitals will have a well-trained and experienced anesthesia team. It is essential for patient safety.
- Empathetic staff- I rate this above qualification and training. The most important aspect of patient care is empathy. An encouraging smile, a word of reassurance and caring attitude of the staff make a hospital truly the best of all.
- Well trained and qualified staff- Staff must be well trained and qualified to handle patients like this. They must also be equipped to deal with all emergencies.
- Internet ratings and reviews- Many patients look at internet ratings and reviews before deciding on a hospital. However, this alone must not be a deciding factor. One must look at the holistic picture and not just google ratings.
At the end of the day, a best hospital is one where you feel the most comfortable and safe. A surgery is an important event in your life. You are the most important person at that time and you must be at a place that makes you feel good.
One more thing, best hospitals don’t necessarily have the biggest buildings. Health care is not just about big and grand infrastructure, it is about people and teams that take care of you.
