With the reform and opening up, everyone’s income has improved, the awareness has deepened, everyone’s concern for their own health has increased, and the number of patients with gallbladder stones found through physical examination has also increased, the main contradiction of everyone is – whether to retain the gallbladder, here I will explain briefly: 1, digestion The main role of the gallbladder is to concentrate and store bile, after eating After the gallbladder is removed, the bile goes directly to the intestine after being secreted by the liver without being concentrated, and the digestive function will be weakened relative to the normal gallbladder, but it can be restored to the normal level after a period of compensation. 2. Bile Also for the absence of gallbladder concentration, after a large amount of bile secreted by the liver is directly discharged to the digestive tract, it may cause diarrhea, which can be recovered after a period of time. Therefore, in general, the impact on life after gallbladder removal is not significant, and most of them are short-term effects, which can be recovered after a certain period of time. 3.Biliary preservation For patients with gallbladder preservation requirements, the recommended time for surgery is the asymptomatic period, and it is more favorable to preserve gallbladder when stones are found in simple physical examination and without symptoms, while for gallbladder with recurrent attacks, obvious symptoms, frequent pain, and after repeated injections and anti-inflammatory treatment, it is not favorable to preserve gallbladder for stone extraction because of edema thickening stimulated by repeated inflammation of gallbladder wall. 4, recurrence Whether gallbladder removal or bile stone extraction, there is a risk of stone recurrence, bile stone extraction recurrence risk is relatively high, recurrence sites include the gallbladder, common bile duct and intrahepatic bile duct, which requires regular review, early detection and early treatment, early detection in the case of relatively small stones, you can try drugs to remove stones, if larger or serious blockage of the common bile duct will require surgery. 5. Diet The most important concern is whether the recurrence of gallbladder stones can be controlled by diet, or the taboo of diet after gallbladder surgery, here my opinion is: there is no special taboo, mainly directly related to the individual’s constitution, we must pay attention to something, that is, drink more water, regular review, or refer to some of the views of Chinese medicine.
