Why Choose GO-SCOPE for Gallstone Care
Our mission is to transform gallstone care through a minimally invasive, patient-centered approach that preserves gallbladder function while supporting comfort and faster recovery.
What We Do
GO‑SCOPE uses image-guided lithotripsy and cholangioscopy to safely remove gallstones while preserving the gallbladder. Unlike laparoscopic cholecystectomy which removes the entire organ, our approach targets only the stones, using precisely directed shock waves and sound wave technology to fragment them for gentle removal.
Why It Matters
Preserves gallbladder function, reduces trauma, and promotes faster, safer recovery with minimally invasive treatment. Patients avoid the lifelong digestive changes that can follow gallbladder surgery, and there is no risk of complications from small incisions or general anesthesia required for traditional procedures.
Who Benefits
Ideal for elective patients avoiding gallbladder removal, high risk individuals unsuitable for surgery (including those with prior bariatric surgery or complex medical histories), and anyone seeking rapid recovery with minimal hospitalization. It is also suitable for patients with stones lodged in the common bile duct who might otherwise need more invasive interventions like percutaneous cholecystostomy or cholecystostomy tube placement.
