Man has 4,100 gallstones removed from body

Every time when there was a bout of pain, he would pop painkillers and antacids to alleviate it.

The doctors immediately performed a single laparoscopy operation and removed the gallstones.

It took two of hospital staff members ‘over two hours’ to count the number of stones, which ranged 3mm to 4mm in diameter. Dr Amit Sharad Kele, Laparoscopic surgeon who operated on Yewle said: ‘He was admitted here last week after suffering from severe abdominal pain for two days.

‘The man hadn’t sought proper treatment and would take painkillers and antacids whenever he felt abdominal pain. ‘We had to perform an emergency surgery after several tests revealed the patient had multiple number of gallstones.’ 

Yewle, who runs a hardware shop, is responding well to treatment and will be discharged in a few days from the hospital.

Gallstones are usually made of cholesterol and form in the gallbladder. 

They typically do not cause symptoms but can lead to intense abdominal pain if they block a bile duct. 

Around one in 10 adults in the UK have gallstones but may not be aware of it. If people suffer inflammation of the gallbladder as a complication, they may experience pain, fever or jaundice.
