Timing of surgery for gallbladder stones or polyps

  Gallbladder stones and cholesterol polyps smaller than 1.0 cm can be treated non-surgically with oral lithotripsy with ursodeoxycholic acid for six months to see if the stones or polyps shrink or dissolve. Symptomatic gallbladder stones or stones larger than 2 cm and gallbladder polyps larger than 1 cm usually require surgical treatment, i.e. cholecystectomy, and the current gold standard is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, commonly known as cavitation.  The best time for surgery is when the general condition of the body is good and the gallbladder is free of inflammation, laparoscopic surgery is less traumatic, the possibility of open abdomen is very small, and the recovery after surgery is fast, one week to resume work.  2, if it is acute cholecystitis attack is to make an early surgical decision, in the abdominal pain within 2 to 3 days of the onset of surgery can still obtain better surgical results, but there are more than the former laparoscopic surgery to open surgery may be.  3, try not to gallbladder inflammation attack first infusion, injection treatment, almost a week after the abdominal pain is not completely relieved, then request surgery is not a good time. At this time, the gallbladder and its surrounding abdominal inflammation is very heavy, laparoscopic surgery is difficult, the chances of turning open abdomen are high, and the surgical incision is generally long, and the postoperative recovery is slow.  4, patients with recurrent attacks should seriously consider surgery. If you have already chosen infusion and injection treatment, then after the abdominal pain of cholecystitis is relieved, you should strictly restrict your diet, take anti-inflammatory and choleretic drugs, avoid gallbladder inflammation attacks for 3 months, and then seek surgical treatment, which can also obtain good treatment results.
