Gallstones belong to gastroenterology or hepatobiliary surgery, if the primary hospital does not have the above departments, you should go to the general surgery department, and if the attack at night, you should go to the emergency department for consultation.
Gallstones are a common disease of the biliary system. If there are no symptoms, no treatment is needed; if there are symptoms, conservative treatment and surgery are usually available.
1. Gastroenterology: If it is the first attack and the pain is mild, you should go to the gastroenterology department for conservative treatment, such as observing whether the symptoms disappear on their own, taking medication, duodenoscopy to remove the stone, and so on.
2. Hepatobiliary Surgery: If the gallstone attack is more serious or the second attack, then the gallbladder may need to be removed surgically, and the patient should go to the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department for treatment.
Patients are advised to depend on the department of the hospital, and if they have any questions, they can consult the staff at the triage desk.
