”Gallbladder stones and cholesterol polyps are the most common diseases of the gallbladder, and the standard treatment is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients are not easy to accept gallbladder removal, they always feel that the gallbladder is an important organ of the body, and they do not want to be removed easily. The question I am often asked is “Can I just remove the stone or polyp? In medical terminology, it is called “biliary stone removal”. Here is a brief discussion of my understanding of the current status of gallbladder stone removal treatment. 1. Patients with gallbladder stones not only have gallbladder stones, but also often have gallbladder inflammation, which is often accompanied by pain, fever, abdominal distension and other symptoms in acute inflammation, while most patients with chronic inflammation have no symptoms or only abdominal distension and indigestion. Gallstone extraction only takes the stones and leaves the inflamed gallbladder behind, which results in a high recurrence rate of stones, and even if there is no stone recurrence, inflammatory gallbladder can cause discomfort. 2, for gallbladder polyps because it is not easy to determine whether they are cholesterol or true polyps before surgery, and it is not easy to distinguish whether they are benign or malignant polyps (of course benign polyps account for the vast majority), the gallbladder should not be preserved. 3, gallbladder removal is only suitable for very few cases: simple gallbladder stones, good gallbladder function, no history of acute inflammatory attacks, no chronic inflammatory manifestations, young patients, no diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension and other important organ diseases. Effects on human body after gallbladder removal: the main function of gallbladder is to store bile, concentrate bile and excrete bile, but it does not produce bile, which is secreted by liver. Therefore, after removal of gallbladder, the secretion and excretion of bile are not affected, the storage function is gone, but it is not necessary, just like the storage room in our family, it is convenient to have, and live without as usual. Patients who have had their gallbladder removed have no adverse changes in their feelings or laboratory indicators.
