The difference between gallbladder stones and gallstones is that the stone sites are different. Gallstones include gallbladder stones, which can be stones in all parts of the biliary tract, which contains the extrahepatic bile ducts, the intrahepatic bile ducts, and the gallbladder, and gallbladder stones are just in the gallbladder. Gallstones include extrahepatic bile duct stones and intrahepatic bile duct stones, where the extrahepatic bile ducts are like the trunk of a tree, the intrahepatic bile duct stones are like the branches of a tree, and the gallbladder is a cystic structure next to the trunk. Bile is excreted from the intrahepatic bile ducts to the gallbladder for storage. When eating, bile is excreted from the gallbladder and passes through the extrahepatic bile ducts into the intestines to be used as digestive juices to digest food. So gallstones is a general term for stones in the biliary tract, including gallbladder stones. In the event of gallstones, it is recommended to seek medical attention, follow the doctor’s instructions for further examination, and with the help of the doctor for targeted management or treatment.
