Not all people who are faced with the fact that they have stones in the gall bladder experience the symptoms of acute cholecystitis and biliary colic. Therefore, the question arises: should it be deleted or can we live like this?
Many people, who know about a large number of stones in the gall bladder, let the situation go by itself, especially if the gallstone disease does not manifest itself in any way.
This tactic can be dangerous, since the presence of calculi in the body threatens the development of complications, for example, blockage of the duct with the subsequent development of mechanical jaundice.
In medicine, there are indications and contraindications for surgical intervention.
Laparoscopic surgery is most often performed. Its advantage over cavity intervention is minimal traumatization of tissues, quick recovery period, application of cosmetic sutures.
Should the gallbladder be removed?
Question from the reader: "If a large (about two centimeters) stone does not bother you for many years, is it necessary to remove the gallbladder?"
Surgeon Dmytro Lyubenko answers:
- The operation is required regardless of the size of the stone.
- Small ones are dangerous because they can provoke the development of inflammation of the pancreas.
- A large stone can cause bedsores, peritonitis, and in some cases even intestinal obstruction.
Stones in the gall bladder support the infectious process, and we see allergic manifestations on the skin of patients.
But the most dangerous complication is cancer of the gallbladder.
