Gallbladder polyps are various kinds of growths attached to the mucosa of the gallbladder. With the diversification of people’s diet and the popularity of medical checkups, the detection rate of gallbladder polyps has increased significantly, and now it has become a common disease in biliary surgery clinics. Clinically, the incidence of gallbladder polyps is mainly in young and middle-aged people, and people aged 30-50 years old account for 57.8% of the total number of patients. Clinical manifestations: Gallbladder polyps are insidious and usually do not have any symptoms and are only found during physical examination. Only a few patients will experience mild discomfort in the right upper abdomen; when accompanied by stones, biliary colic may occur. Diagnosis: Ultrasound examination is preferred for gallbladder polyps, which can observe the polyp site, size and whether it is multiple. ultrasound examination is difficult to distinguish whether a gallbladder polyp is benign or malignant. If you want to determine whether a gallbladder polyp is benign or malignant, further ultrasonography and CT examinations are required. Treatment: Many patients are also afraid of gallbladder polyps, fearing that they may become cancerous. Gallbladder polyps can be divided into tumor polyps and non-tumor polyps in terms of pathology. In general, single polyps are adenomatous polyps may be larger and have a greater chance of malignancy, while multiple polyps are generally cholesterol polyps, which have a small chance of malignancy. At the same time, if gallbladder polyps are accompanied by stones, their probability of carcinogenesis is significantly higher. In addition, if the patient is older than 50 years old and the polyp is more than 1 cm in diameter, it is solitary and tends to increase gradually, the possibility of malignant transformation should also be considered. Therefore, we should not let down our guard completely for gallbladder polyps. Surgery is an option in the following two cases: â‘ If the patient has obvious symptoms of discomfort, early surgery is best after excluding mental factors, gastroduodenal and other biliary tract diseases. If the patient has no discomfort or symptoms, surgery should be considered in the following cases: gallbladder polyp larger than 1 cm; rapid increase of polyp within a short period of time as found by ultrasound; combined with gallbladder stones or thickening and calcification of gallbladder wall. Of course, if the patient does not have any of the above conditions, surgery may not be urgent, as long as the ultrasound is reviewed every 6 months. If surgery is chosen, it is usually laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
