Gallstone disease is a common and frequent disease, and with the improvement of people’s life, rich nutrition and actual life span, there is a trend of increasing this disease year by year. Traditional drug lithotripsy and lithotripsy therapies are ineffective and have a high recurrence rate, bringing patients out of the misunderstanding of treatment. The high-tech laparoscopic surgical technique, known as keyhole surgery or microtrauma surgery, which is a milestone in the development of surgical science and technology in the 20th century, is undoubtedly the first choice in the treatment of gallstone disease. Compared with traditional caesarean surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has won praise from patients and high praise from the medical community for its advantages of less trauma, less pain, shorter operation time, faster recovery period and cosmetic appearance. 1.What is gallbladder The gallbladder is a pear-shaped bag-like structure attached to the underside of the liver and open to the extrahepatic bile duct, and is called gallbladder because it stores part of the bile from the liver. Bile is produced by liver cells and is discharged into the intestine through the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts to help with food digestion and nutrient absorption. 2.How are gallstones formed There are many things in bile that are normally in a dissolved state, just like sugar or salt dissolved in water. If the concentration is too high, some of them will form crystals, then grow further and become clumps, stay or block in the biliary system, affecting the flow of bile, and stones are formed. Due to the different composition of gallstones, the formation of different parts and growth time, their appearance and structure are also varied, large like eggs, small like mud and sand, beautiful like colored beads. 3.What is the danger of gallstones? In addition to causing biliary colic, hidden pain and indigestion, the greater danger is the obstruction of bile ducts causing jaundice, bile duct suppuration, pancreatic inflammation, and even death. Long-term irritation of the bile duct wall or gallbladder wall by gallstones can cause cancer. Patients with gallbladder stones all have chronic inflammation of the gallbladder, and long-term irritation causes the gallbladder to lose its contractile function, and a small percentage can become cancerous. If the stone is blocked in the jugular abdomen or the cystic duct, it can cause right upper abdominal biliary colic. If changing position or medication cannot make the stone leave the obstruction site, high pressure will be generated in the gallbladder, and the blood supply to the gallbladder wall will be reduced or stopped, so bacteria can easily enter and produce a lot of toxins, causing necrosis or even perforation of the gallbladder wall; some small stones or bile sludge can be discharged to the common bile duct by the gallbladder, causing obstruction of the common bile duct, jaundice and purulent cholangitis. Some stones can be discharged by the gallbladder to the common bile duct, causing jaundice and septic cholangitis. Therefore, if you have gallbladder stones, you should treat them early and don’t take any chances.
