1.Gallbladder stones, open or not open? In principle, surgery is recommended for young patients with small stones and no symptoms. 2.When is surgery more appropriate? It is recommended to operate when there is no pain, and for acute attacks, it is more appropriate to operate 1-2 months after the inflammation is controlled, because at that time, the gallbladder is not inflamed and edematous, and the operation is simple, with fast recovery and few complications. If conservative treatment is not effective, emergency surgery is required, but the risk is much greater.
