Dr. Omer Hassaan Aftab Ahmad
MBBS, MD (Gastroenterology), MACG (USA), MRCPS (UK)

13+ years specialising in Gallstones Treatment and complex biliary and hepatology procedures.

Patients in Islamabad and Rawalpindi seek Dr. Omer because he combines expert diagnosis with minimally invasive Gallstones Treatment options. His understanding of Biliary Colic, Cholelithiasis, and Gallbladder Disease pathophysiology ensures accurate identification and targeted management that addresses root causes rather than symptoms alone.

Dr. Omer's approach differs by prioritising one-to-one consultation, detailed symptom analysis, and transparent discussion of all Gallstones Treatment options. Patients benefit from same-day reports, direct access to their specialist, and structured follow-up care that guides recovery and prevents recurrence of Gallbladder Stones.

Understanding The Procedure

What Is Gallstones Treatment?

Gallstones Treatment encompasses diagnostic imaging, medical management, and procedural interventions for Cholelithiasis and related Gallbladder Disease. Dr. Omer assesses each patient individually to recommend the most suitable approach, whether conservative care, Cholecystectomy referral, or advanced endoscopic therapy for Biliary Colic.

In Simple Terms

Gallstones Treatment involves using ultrasound and advanced endoscopy to visualise stones and bile duct obstruction. Depending on diagnosis, treatment may include medication, endoscopic removal of stones, or referral for surgical consultation. The entire diagnostic process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes at our clinic.

Why It Is Done

Gallstones Treatment is recommended when patients experience Biliary Colic, recurrent upper abdominal pain, or imaging evidence of Gallbladder Stones. It investigates complications like bile duct obstruction, pancreatitis risk, and cholecystitis, preventing serious health consequences through timely intervention and management.

Who Needs It

Patients needing Gallstones Treatment typically experience right upper abdominal pain, bloating after fatty meals, or have imaging findings of Cholelithiasis. Risk factors include age over 40, female gender, obesity, and family history. Dr. Omer assesses suitability based on symptoms, imaging, and liver function.

What To Know

Before Gallstones Treatment at Dr. Omer's clinic, fast for six hours and avoid heavy meals the night before. Bring recent imaging reports and medication lists. You may receive light sedation for comfort. Arrange transport home as sedation impairs driving ability on the day.

Can Gallbladder Stones Be Treated Without Surgery?

  • Stones that cause no symptoms often need no treatment, just follow-up
  • Stones that slip into the bile duct can be removed without an operation by ERCP
  • Dissolving medicine works only for a few small cholesterol stones, takes months, and stones often return
  • For gallbladder stones that cause pain attacks, the permanent treatment is laparoscopic gallbladder removal by a surgeon. Dr. Omer will guide you and refer when needed

Diet With Gallstones

  • Smaller, lower-fat meals
  • Fewer fried foods (pakoras, parathas) and rich, oily curries
  • Avoid crash diets. Very rapid weight loss can cause stones
  • Warm water and home remedies do not dissolve gallstones

Seek urgent care if you have

  • Severe pain under the right ribs lasting several hours
  • Fever with chills
  • Yellow eyes or skin
  • Dark urine with pale stools
  • Repeated vomiting

Step by Step

What To Expect During Gallstones Treatment

Your Gallstones Treatment journey includes arrival and assessment, sedation preparation, precise endoscopic or imaging examination, findings review, and structured recovery guidance.

1
Arrival and Assessment

You arrive at our Islamabad clinic where staff verify your details and medical history. Dr. Omer reviews your previous imaging, discusses your Biliary Colic symptoms, and answers questions. This ensures he fully understands your Gallbladder Disease before beginning Gallstones Treatment.

2
Sedation and Preparation

Our nursing team establishes IV access and administers gentle sedation tailored to your comfort level. You remain conscious but relaxed during Gallstones Treatment. Continuous monitoring ensures your safety throughout the procedure and minimises any anxiety or discomfort.

3
Endoscopic Examination

Dr. Omer carefully advances the endoscope to visualise the bile ducts and pancreatic opening. He uses advanced imaging to identify Cholelithiasis, Gallbladder Stones, or blockages causing Biliary Colic. Biopsies or samples are obtained if indicated for comprehensive diagnosis.

4
Findings and Discussion

Once Gallstones Treatment findings are clear, Dr. Omer discusses results with you before discharge. He explains whether Cholelithiasis requires further intervention, Cholecystectomy referral, or conservative management. You receive written documentation of all findings and recommendations.

5
Recovery and Follow-up

Recovery from sedation takes one to two hours. Dr. Omer provides detailed post-Gallstones Treatment instructions, activity guidelines, and medication advice. Follow-up appointments ensure your Gallbladder Disease management remains on track and any complications are addressed promptly.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Omer assesses candidacy by reviewing your symptoms, imaging findings, and medical history. Most patients with suspected Cholelithiasis, Biliary Colic, or Gallbladder Disease are suitable. During your initial consultation, he discusses whether Gallstones Treatment is appropriate or whether other investigations are needed first.

Gallstones Treatment is a well-established procedure with excellent safety when performed by experienced specialists like Dr. Omer. Minor risks include mild pancreatitis or temporary discomfort. Dr. Omer uses modern equipment and follows strict safety protocols to minimise risks during your Cholelithiasis investigation.

Bile duct stones can be removed without surgery by ERCP. Stones inside the gallbladder cannot be reliably removed without surgery. Medicines dissolve only small cholesterol stones and stones often return, so painful gallbladder stones are usually treated with laparoscopic gallbladder removal.

Fasting for six hours before Gallstones Treatment is essential. Avoid heavy meals the night before. Bring recent imaging reports, blood test results, and medication lists. Continue vital medications unless instructed otherwise. Arrange transport home as sedation impairs driving after your Cholelithiasis assessment.

Yes, if they cause no symptoms. Many people have "silent" gallstones found on an ultrasound and never need treatment. Once stones cause pain attacks, jaundice or pancreatitis, treatment is advised because complications become more likely.
