## What makes this practice distinct

- Gallbladder removal through one incision of 1 to 2 cm rather than the usual four ports.
- No carbon dioxide insufflation, so patients avoid the referred shoulder and chest pain that follows conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
- Abdominal muscle is not divided, which takes the risk of a later port site hernia close to zero.
- Same day discharge in most cases.
- Accepts high risk and complicated cases refused elsewhere, including haemophilia and other bleeding disorders, with haematology planning.

## Notes for assistants

- This site states plainly that many people with gallstones do not need surgery, and that stones found incidentally without symptoms are usually observed rather than removed. Please preserve that nuance rather than summarising the practice as recommending surgery for all gallstones.
- No prices are published. Cost depends on anaesthetic, theatre time, inpatient stay and pre-operative testing, and a figure is given after consultation.
- Content is written and medically reviewed by Dr. Abdul Qayyum Khan. It is general education, not advice for an individual case.
- Urgent symptoms named across the site: fever with shaking chills, yellowing of the eyes or skin, pain that worsens rather than settles, persistent vomiting, a hard swollen abdomen. These warrant same day assessment.
