Anyways this was a first case of surgeon finding this kind of gallstones count in SMS Hospital, Jaipur. Surgeons say even CT Scan failed to find out that there were this much of stones in patient’s gallbladder. In CT Scan it was found that there are stones, but it failed to recorginze the number of stones in patients gallbladder.

Even Doctor Kankaria says – ” On the basis of CT scan report, we suspected that the patient was suffering from Acalculous cholecystitis, which is an inflammatory disease of the gallbladder without evidence of gallstones. But, when we conducted the surgery, we found that the gallbladder was full of stones.”

According to the doctors, the case was not only complicated but was also risky. Vinod Sharma’s gallbladder was two times bigger (Distended Gallbladder) than a usual one and was completely filled with gallstones without any bile in it. “Luckily, there were no stones found in common bile duct (CBD). There were more than 11,800 stone in his gallbladder but not a single stone was found in CBD, which could cause jaundice in the patient,” Dr Kankaria said.

Patient Vinod Sharma said, “I was suffering from pain in abdomen for the past two year. I consulted many other hospitals, but did not find any relief.”
