Surgery is a “scary” thing for patients, so when gallbladder stones are first discovered, people often choose to take medication to remove the stones. In fact, large stones in the gallbladder cannot be expelled through the small bile ducts, while small stones in the gallbladder can be expelled naturally through the bile ducts to the intestine every day, and there is no evidence that taking medication can increase the expulsion of gallstones. In fact, due to the special structure of the bile duct, expelling gallbladder stones is not only unhelpful but even harmful to the patient, and can cause cholangitis and even pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis and acute cholangitis are very serious diseases, but larger gallstones that cannot be expelled from the gallbladder and cause acute cholecystitis are not serious diseases, and removal of the gallbladder will solve the problem. The effective treatment for gallbladder stones should be surgical removal of the gallbladder, some hospitals use the method of not removing the gallbladder, just cut open the gallbladder and remove all the stones in it, this method is bound to cause recurrence of gallbladder stones, this has long been proven to be undesirable surgical methods decades ago. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is less invasive than traditional cholecystectomy, and the patient can get out of bed the day after surgery. However, if there are stones in the bile ducts, duodenoscopy should be performed after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and the sphincter should be cut to remove the stones, which is nearly double the cost and has a low success rate. Many people who need to be hospitalized for gallbladder stone combined with cholecystitis or biliary colic often ask the question: Is the gallbladder part of the digestive organs, and does the removal of the gallbladder affect the digestive function of the body? The gallbladder only serves to store and concentrate bile in the human body, it does not produce and secrete bile, the real organ that produces and secretes bile is the liver. It is the liver that actually produces and secretes bile. Bile is the substance that helps digest food. After removal of the gallbladder, the bile storage and concentration function is lost, but the bile can still mix with food in the small intestine and play a digestive role. In addition, when the gallbladder is removed, due to cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, the function of most of the gallbladder has been completely lost, and the gallbladder has become a harmful and unhelpful organ, so it is not a pity to cut it.
