If you want to eliminate jaundice caused by choledocholithiasis, choledocholithiasis should be treated promptly, including non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment
1. Non-surgical treatment: usually as a preoperative preparation. It includes utilizing antibiotics (e.g. cefuroxime, etc.) to fight infection, liver preservation (e.g. compound glycyrrhizic acid glycoside), correcting water-electrolyte disorders, and strengthening nutritional support. Strive for a limited period of surgical treatment after infection control.
2. Surgical treatment: the more commonly used surgical procedures are choledochotomy and T-tube drainage. If accompanied by gallbladder stones and cholecystitis, cholecystectomy should be performed at the same time, and T-tube drainage should be placed after the operation. Alternatively, laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and stone extraction can be performed for treatment.
Jaundice caused by choledocholithiasis is mostly due to obstruction of the bile ducts, and the jaundice can mostly subside when the obstruction is relieved.
If choledocholithiasis occurs, it should be promptly admitted to the hospital and treated under the guidance of the doctor.
