Gallstones can be treated in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Department of Gastroenterology, Department of General Surgery or Department of Emergency Medicine, depending on the department of the hospital.
1. Hepatobiliary Surgery: If the hospital has a Hepatobiliary Surgery Department and the patient’s condition is recurring and the pain is severe, the patient should go to the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department for cholecystectomy.
2. Gastroenterology: Gallstones belong to the digestive system, if the patient’s condition is not serious and the symptoms are not obvious, he/she can consult the gastroenterology department and receive conservative treatment according to his/her specific condition.
3. General Surgery: If the primary hospital does not have the above two departments, you need to hang up the general surgery department for treatment.
4. Emergency Medicine: If the patient is at night or in an emergency, he/she can register with the Emergency Medicine Department for urgent diagnosis and treatment.
Patients should judge the department according to the specific situation of the hospital and their own condition.
