After gallbladder removal, how much effect it has on the body To know how much effect gallbladder removal has on the body we have to start from the normal physiological function of gallbladder and why it should be removed. The function of the gallbladder: storage of bile Bile is secreted by the liver, and the gallbladder only plays the function of storage and concentration, and there is no significant change in the original bile secretion after the removal of the gallbladder. For example, the gallbladder is equivalent to a small pond next to a reservoir, the reservoir capacity can be increased by filling the pond with water to buffer the reservoir capacity pressure, filling the pond with soil will not have a significant impact on the reservoir. Bile is secreted by the liver, the gallbladder only plays the role of temporary storage of bile, and in turn the gallbladder plays the role of regulating bile secretion. The gallbladder plays the role of regulating bile secretion, and after its removal, its role can be replaced by the common bile duct, and there is generally no problem of missing its role. The reason why the gallbladder should be removed is simply because there is a “problem” with the gallbladder, such as gallbladder stones, cholecystitis, malignant gallbladder polyps and other conditions. The majority of gallbladder removal is due to gallbladder stones, some asymptomatic gallbladder stones can be observed according to the specific situation, but most of the symptomatic gallbladder stones are better to remove the gallbladder, in order to eliminate the gallbladder stones induced gallbladder problems, because after the first biliary colic, about 70% of patients will have another attack within a year, this “not too big, not too small This “small” stone can easily get stuck in the gallbladder duct and cause biliary colic. In fact, a large proportion of patients with gallbladder in the long-term inflammation process has been “porcelain” has no normal physiological function, hard to stay also useless, but also prone to problems. This shows that it is not necessary for gallbladder patients to insist on choosing gallbladder preservation surgery. What are the effects of gallbladder removal on the near future Some patients have a slight feeling of distension after meals within two weeks after gallbladder removal, but these symptoms will basically disappear gradually in about a month. Of course, there are a few patients who reflect that occasional pins and needles sensation in the right upper abdomen will occur for several months after surgery, which may be related to the slight adhesion and pulling of the gallbladder bed and abdominal wall or intestinal canal. What is the long-term impact of gallbladder removal on the body? The long-term follow-up of patients who underwent gallbladder removal for gallbladder disease found that their quality of life was significantly improved, and in the long run, the benefit of removal was much higher than the benefit of not removing. Cholecystectomy for gallbladder stones eliminates the risk of gallbladder stones turning into bile duct stones, and removal of the gallbladder for multiple polyps or large polyps removes the potential for transformation into gallbladder cancer.
