Dear Patient,

Laparoscopy is the best way forward. The only major side effect can be bleeding or damage to the nearby structure but the risk is small and the risk of keeping the stones is much bigger. After a few days of surgery, pain should improve as well.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Laparoscopic Surgeons in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
