Priyanka has minor surgery for gallstones

Sources said Priyanka had complained of abdomen pain after which scans were performed. A surgery was advised considering the number and size of stones. A team of doctors led by Dr Praveen Bhatia of the Department of Minimal Access Surgery conducted the procedure through a laparoscope. Gall bladder stones can block the flow of bile if they get stuck near the liver or intestine.

Sources said Sonia,Rahul Gandhi and husband Robert Vadra were present in hospital during the surgery. She is recuperating normally. Since it was a minimal invasive procedure,she is likely to be discharged tomorrow itself, a doctor at the hospital said. A follow-up examination will be performed on Tuesday morning.
