The presence of stones in the gallbladder without symptoms is medically known as “resting stones”. In recent years, due to the widespread use of ultrasound, such patients are often seen during medical examinations. Gallbladder stones are usually caused by over-nutrition, with cholesterol levels in the diet exceeding the body’s normal needs, and are deposited in the gallbladder, thus forming stones. Doctors often have two views on gallbladder static stones: one is that long-term asymptomatic static stones, whose natural process is benign, can coexist peacefully, and surgery is necessary; the other view is that although static stones are currently asymptomatic, they should not be taken lightly, as they do not remain static forever, and are like a time bomb buried in the body, which is in danger of exploding at any time, so it is better to treat them early. If left untreated, stones can move and rub in the gallbladder, causing inflammation of the gallbladder wall; stones can obstruct the gallbladder duct, causing severe biliary colic or hydrocele; acute cholangitis can lead to gallbladder necrosis and perforation; small stones can enter the common bile duct from the gallbladder duct, eventually leading to obstructive jaundice and purulent cholangitis; in a few patients, the long-term stimulation of stones can cause gallbladder cancer. How great is the danger of all the above? According to statistics, about 25% of asymptomatic gallbladder stone patients develop symptoms within 10 years. Some people have observed 781 patients with asymptomatic gallbladder stones for 11 years, 49% were asymptomatic, 33% had severe symptoms, 18% developed complications, 173 of them underwent surgery, and 1.7% died. These data show that gallbladder stones are not always peaceful, so they should not be taken lightly. At this stage, the number of gallbladder cancer cases is on the increase, and the treatment effect is extremely poor, with a 5-year survival rate of << span="">15% after surgery. Therefore, some scholars believe that at this stage there is no effective means to screen asymptomatic gallbladder stone patients for possible cancer, and it is advisable to perform prophylactic surgical resection for asymptomatic gallbladder stones, weighing the dangerous outcome of gallbladder cancer against the current safe situation of gallbladder resection. The 5-year survival rate after surgery is < span=">15%. Therefore, some scholars believe that at this stage, there is no effective means to screen asymptomatic gallbladder stones early for possible cancer, and weighing the risky outcome of gallbladder cancer against the safety of current gallbladder resection, prophylactic surgical resection for asymptomatic gallbladder stones is desirable.
