Choledochal cysts, or choledochal dilatation, require medication, surgery, and other treatments. Generally, patients with mild inflammation can be minimally invasive.
1. Drug treatment: patients can take ursodeoxycholic acid capsule as prescribed by the doctor, which is helpful to reduce the frequency of cholangitis attacks. Secondly, some patients may need to follow the doctor’s instructions to apply amoxicillin, ceftriaxone and other antibiotic drugs.
2. Surgery: For patients with clear cancerous tendency and serious condition, open surgery or laparoscopic surgery is needed, and laparoscopic surgery is more suitable for patients with less severe bile duct inflammation.
3. Other treatments: If bile duct dilatation is combined with acute suppurative inflammation, and patients who can not tolerate complex surgery, it is necessary to consider biliary drainage.
Choledocholithiasis is rare in clinical practice and generally has a good prognosis. Once diagnosed, patients need to cooperate with their doctors to avoid delaying their condition. At the same time, they need to strengthen their daily life management and have regular follow-ups.
