Our Treatment Options for Gallstones and Complex Gallbladder Surgery
Gallstones are small, hard deposits that form in the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver.
Gallstones can range in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball, and they can cause a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. In some cases, gallstones can lead to more serious complications that require surgery.
There are two main types of gallstones:
Cholesterol stones: These are the most common type of gallstones and are formed when there is too much cholesterol in the bile.
Pigment stones: These are formed when there is an excess of bilirubin in the bile.
There are several factors that can increase the risk of developing gallstones, including:
The treatment plan will depend on the underlying cause and severity of your condition, but some common treatments include:
Observation: In some cases, small gallstones may not require treatment and can be monitored for changes over time.
Medications: We may prescribe medications to help dissolve gallstones or to manage symptoms such as pain and nausea.
Surgery: In cases where gallstones are causing severe symptoms or complications, surgery may be necessary to remove the gallbladder. This procedure is known as a cholecystectomy and can be performed using minimally invasive techniques.
Complex gallbladder surgery may be required in cases where there are additional complications, such as inflammation or blockages in the bile ducts. This procedure can be more complex and may require specialized techniques and equipment.
