Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Gallbladder Cancer Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Gallbladder cancer surgery is a major hepatobiliary operation aimed at removing all visible cancer from the gallbladder and surrounding structures, giving the patient the best possible chance of long-term control or cure. The extent of surgery depends on how far the cancer has grown: the earliest tumours may require only removal of the gallbladder itself, while more advanced cancers need removal of the gallbladder together with a portion of the adjacent liver, regional lymph nodes, and sometimes part of the bile duct. When gallbladder cancer is discovered unexpectedly after a routine gallbladder removal for gallstones, a second, more extensive operation is often recommended to complete the cancer treatment. Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia by a specialist hepatobiliary surgical oncology team, typically takes three to six hours, and is followed by a hospital stay of roughly five to ten days. Adjuvant chemotherapy is commonly recommended after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Removal of the gallbladder alone, used only for the earliest-stage cancers confined to the innermost lining of the gallbladder wall.
