Bile duct stones are categorized into intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stones. The treatment of bile duct stones depends on the degree of the specific condition, and surgery is generally recommended. Specific instructions are as follows:
1. Extrahepatic bile duct stones can be removed by choledochotomy and retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
2. Intrahepatic bile duct stones also rely on surgical treatment. Generally, intrahepatic bile duct stones without obvious symptoms do not need to be treated at present, and regular rechecks can be performed; if they are repeatedly combined with fever, abdominal pain, jaundice, and other symptoms, choledochotomy lithotripsy and partial hepatectomy are recommended for treatment.
At present, there is no drug that can remove the bile duct stones, so you have to choose the treatment plan according to your own condition, and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment. After surgery, patients must pay attention to postoperative care and review on time.
