Gallstones Treatment in Winnipeg | Expert Surgical Care
Facing gallstones? You deserve the best care in Winnipeg. Dr. Ashley Vergis and Dr. Krista Hardy, minimally invasive general surgeons at Saint Boniface Surgical Associates (400 Tache Ave.), specialize in laparoscopic Gall stones Winnipeg procedures, helping patients across Manitoba live pain-free.
What Are Gallstones?
Gallstones are solid particles that form in the gallbladder when cholesterol, bile salts, and other substances become imbalanced. They vary in size and number and can silently exist for years or cause sudden, intense pain.
Types of gallstones:
Cholesterol stones – most common in North America
Pigment stones – typically linked to liver disease or infections
Risk Factors
Age over 40
Female (especially with pregnancy or hormone therapy)
Obesity or rapid weight loss
Family history
High-fat or low-fiber diets
Common Symptoms of Gallstones
Upper right abdominal pain, especially after meals
Nausea or vomiting
Bloating or indigestion
Fever or chills (indicates infection)
Jaundice (yellow skin/eyes)
Ignoring symptoms may lead to severe complications, such as acute cholecystitis, pancreatitis, or bile duct obstruction.
Advanced Surgical Options in Winnipeg
Dr. Vergis and Dr. Hardy offer cutting-edge minimally invasive solutions, including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the gold standard for gallstone removal.
