How to choose the treatment for gallbladder stones?

  The basic treatment principle of gallbladder stones is still gallbladder removal. Although a few cases of gallbladder stones can be successfully treated with combined Chinese and Western medicine, the results are still unsatisfactory in general, as the stones in the gallbladder are not only difficult to be excreted, but also may bring some complications during the treatment, such as purulent cholangitis and constrictive papillitis. In previous years, it was reported that oral lithotropic drugs could shrink or disappear some of the gallbladder stones, but long-term administration of large amounts of drugs could cause some complications, and the stones could recur after stopping the drugs. In contrast, simple gallbladder stones can receive better results after cholecystectomy because they are not combined with other complications. Especially in recent years, the introduction of television laparoscopy has made it possible to remove the gallbladder without dissection. The advantage of this method is that it is less painful and less painful for the patient, and the postoperative recovery is fast, making the traditional surgery simple, safe and easily accepted by the patient.
