Which is better, biliary polyp removal or cholecystectomy?

If gallbladder polyps are present, it is better to choose to remove the gallbladder. 1. After cholecystectomy, patients will not have serious after-effects, and most of the patients have no difference between life without gallbladder and life with gallbladder. If the gallbladder polyps are multiple, the biliary polyp removal method may not be clean and have residuals, and after the gallbladder has been cut open, its function of concentrating bile has been destroyed, which may easily lead to recurrence of polyps or stone formation, so it is recommended that the gallbladder be removed. 2. Usually, after the surgery of removing stones or polyps by biliary preservation, patients may have new stone-like material in the gallbladder in about 3 months, so this kind of patients are not suitable for biliary preservation and polyp removal surgery. After removing the diseased gallbladder through open surgery or laparoscopic resection, the possibility of recurrence of polyps and stones will be avoided, and the repeated inflammatory stimulation of polyps will not lead to gallbladder cancer. 3. The occurrence of polyps is usually closely related to elevated cholesterol levels, because cholesterol crystals are deposited on top of the gallbladder wall, and after being phagocytosed by macrophages in the gallbladder wall, the gallbladder wall is stimulated to a certain extent, which can produce polyps. If symptoms of cholecystitis occur or the diameter of the polyp exceeds 1cm, in order to avoid the polyp from becoming cancerous, the doctor will recommend the patient to undergo surgery to remove the gallbladder. Therefore, cholecystectomy can reduce the possibility of deterioration of gallbladder disease. Nowadays, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is often used, which has the advantages of small incision, mild pain, fewer complications, quicker recovery and earlier discharge.
