1. The only effective treatment for gallstones is cholecystectomy. Both open surgery and endoscopic minimally invasive surgery are cholecystectomy. However, in reality, there are indeed some people who have never had surgery for a lifetime, so in principle, it is recommended to choose surgery. Then, as for the pros and cons of opening and not opening, there are mainly several problems:
If you don't open it, there will be two consequences. First, I don't know when it will hurt, and even a few stones fall into the common bile duct in an acute attack, causing cholangitis and pancreatitis; Second, long-term gallstones have the risk of causing gallbladder cancer. The more stones, the longer the time, the greater the risk of cancer. Although the overall canceration rate is not high, once canceration occurs, the prognosis is poor.
3, if the gallbladder is removed, it is also two problems; First, whether it is open surgery or endoscopic minimally invasive surgery, surgery itself is a kind of trauma and has certain risks. Of course, most people can tolerate it. Secondly, after cholecystectomy, the human body loses an organ and needs to adapt again. Most people can adapt and have no obvious discomfort, but a few people who can't adapt well may cause some discomfort, mainly in digestion, such as mild abdominal pain and diarrhea. But generally it will not seriously affect their normal work and life.
