Answers to some questions about the disease “gallbladder stones and gallbladder polyps”

  The incidence of gallbladder stones in China has reached 10%, and the admission rate of gallbladder stones accounts for about 11.5% of general surgery inpatients, and the ratio of female patients to male patients is about 2.57:1. The common clinical manifestations of gallbladder stones are: biliary colic, epigastric vague pain or swelling and discomfort, back or shoulder back swelling and discomfort, etc., or combined with some common symptoms of the digestive tract, such as decreased digestive function, bitter mouth, etc., of course, patients with severe symptoms may have other complications such as chills and fever, jaundice, severe abdominal pain, etc. Of course, patients with severe symptoms may have other complications such as chills and high fever, jaundice and severe abdominal pain.  Ultrasound is the first choice for the diagnosis of gallbladder stones, and the diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound examination.  The first choice of treatment for gallbladder stones, i.e. the “gold standard”, is laparoscopic cholecystectomy.  For patients with asymptomatic gallbladder stones, that is, those found on physical examination, preventive surgery is generally not required and can be observed and followed up.  However, surgery is recommended in the following cases: 1. large number of gallbladder stones, size of gallbladder stones, diameter >2-3cm or diameter <5-6mm, i.e. large stones or small stones.  2, calcification of gallbladder wall or porcelain gallbladder (porcelain gallbladder).  3.Gallbladder stones combined with gallbladder polyps.  4.Significant thickening of the gallbladder wall.  5.Gallbladder stones in pediatric patients.  6.
