Many patients often come to me and ask me if they want to have a cholecystectomy because they found a gallbladder polyp of about 3 to 4 mm during an ultrasound examination during their physical examination. In this case, there is no need to do cholecystectomy. The current indications for cholecystectomy for gallbladder polyps are (gallbladder polyps are considered for surgery only in the following cases): 1, gallbladder polyps larger than 1cm; 2, combined with gallbladder stones; 3, rapid growth in a short period of time; 4, accompanied by obvious chronic inflammation of the gallbladder, such as gallbladder wall thickness greater than 4mm, significant atrophy of the gallbladder, uneven thickness, poor emptying of the gallbladder and associated symptoms (poor digestion, abdominal fullness, etc.). abdominal fullness and discomfort, etc.). At present, 80% of the patients who have had gallbladder polyps removed are unnecessary for surgery, they are only afraid of the polyps becoming cancerous before they go for surgery, we have a very famous hospital doing gallbladder surgery here is how to persuade patients. I asked the patient, “Did you go to a hospital where they advised you to have surgery?” The patient answered yes, they advised me to have surgery, saying that it would be cancerous if I didn’t have surgery. In fact, the gallbladder polyps less than 1cm are rarely tumorigenic, the gallbladder is a reservoir for storing bile, the cholesterol in the bile will be deposited over time, forming cholesterol deposits attached to the gallbladder wall, the formation of the so-called gallbladder polyps. The presence of polyps less than 1cm is basically a normal gallbladder, the existence of the gallbladder is essential for the maintenance of the normal digestive function of the body, bile is digested fat, after the removal of the gallbladder, eating greasy food prone to diarrhea, and gallbladder removal is said to increase the incidence of colon cancer. What’s more, gallbladder stones, especially long-term gallbladder stones, are the main risk factor for gallbladder cancer, while gallbladder polyps are not, and the strange thing is that people are not afraid of gallbladder stones, but are afraid of gallbladder polyps, plus hospitals are now talking about efficiency, taking advantage of the people’s fear of cancer, so a large number of gallbladders should not be cut, who do you blame for this phenomenon! In addition, the gallbladder should be removed, such as acute inflammation of the gallbladder, long-term gallbladder stones, but doctors are reluctant to cut, because this kind of gallbladder is not easy to cut, the removal process is easy to cause damage to the bile duct, gallbladder polyps doctors are willing to cut, because the basic normal gallbladder is not good to cut, many famous doctors are like this, but I basically cut no one to do not cut the gallbladder, because I think good to cut I think it is not necessary to cut the gallbladder, such as gallbladder polyps. In addition, there are two other points to note: 1, the incidence of gallbladder cancer is low, but the incidence of gastrointestinal cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer and lung cancer are higher, so we should prevent these cancers, in addition to breast cancer and reproductive system cancer in women, which have a higher incidence. There are many ways to prevent cancer, such as quitting smoking, removing gallbladder polyps from gallbladder to prevent cancer is an anti-aircraft gun hitting mosquitoes.
