There is a lot of information about gallbladder stones, whether online or in the library, so I won’t go into details here. Here we will mainly talk about several issues that you should be concerned about: 1. The clinical manifestations of gallbladder stones can be divided into three types: (1) asymptomatic: no symptoms, found by ultrasound during physical examination or examination for other diseases. (2) Combined with chronic inflammation: the manifestation may be vague pain and discomfort in the liver area, right upper abdomen, epigastrium, shoulder and back, often occurring or aggravated by high-fat meals or at night. (3) When combined with acute inflammation: often stones gallbladder neck embedded, gallbladder fluid enlargement, and even combined with bacterial infection, causing suppuration, gangrene, perforation. At this time, the patient’s right upper bright biliary colic, or even continuous severe pain is not easy to relieve, and may be combined with systemic symptoms of infection such as fever. 2.How to diagnose gallbladder stones? The diagnosis is actually very simple, an ultrasound of the upper abdomen can basically clarify the diagnosis, the report is usually written: the gallbladder can be seen in the hyperechoic with sound shadow, ultrasound conclusion: gallbladder stones. I think at this time, even if you are not a doctor, you can still make a clear diagnosis of gallbladder stones. 3.Should gallbladder stones be operated? Scientifically speaking, it should be: once gallbladder stones are found, early surgery is recommended! Although some patients may not have any symptoms for the rest of their lives, and will not progress as quickly as tumors, they are equivalent to a time bomb, which may cause harm at any time. 4.How to choose the surgery for gallbladder stones? Now the gold standard of gallbladder stone treatment is: laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It can completely solve the problem of gallbladder stones and cholecystitis, and has the characteristics of less trauma, less pain and faster recovery, and can be discharged from the hospital in about 3 days after surgery, without removing stitches and without scars and no major adverse effects on the human body, which has been the world recognized surgical method in hepatobiliary surgery. Gallbladder stone retrieval is now a relatively fashionable term, which is a promotional tool for many small hospitals to attract patients, in fact, this is not high and not complicated. However, in the early days when choledochoscopy was not popularly used, the residual rate of gallbladder stones was very high, and the causes of gallbladder stone formation were not completely elucidated, and there were no effective measures to prevent stone re-formation, so the recurrence rate was also high, so we do not recommend this method. The purpose of biliary stone retrieval is to preserve the function of the gallbladder, so a preoperative gallbladder contraction test should be performed, and only if the contraction function is good will there be evidence and value of biliary stone retrieval, and there is a greater risk of biliary leakage after biliary stone retrieval surgery, and long-term postoperative medication is needed to prevent stone recurrence (the effect of stone recurrence prevention is not yet exact), and there is a high risk of stone recurrence after surgery. Having said that, gallbladder stones are actually not a very big and complicated disease, and once detected, timely eradication has a definite efficacy and avoids unnecessary risks in the future. But do not pay attention to, not early release hidden danger, may also produce great harm, and even life-threatening serious consequences, sincerely recommend that we take measures as soon as possible.
