Get rid of your Gallstones

• Pain will be felt more on the upper side and middle of the abdomen

 

Gallstones treatment

When gallstones do not cause any symptoms, then most of the people will not worry except visiting the doctor. When the pain and other symptoms shoot ups, the doctor will certainly advise for gallstone surgical, non-surgical treatment based on the patient’s case.

Usually, Gallbladder removal is being the conventional Gallstone treatment. Sometimes, doctors might suggest non-surgical treatment to treat cholesterol stones. However, a surgery is a must for pigment stones. Cholecystectomy is the surgery to remove gallbladder commonly performed in adults.

A health care professional usually gives general anesthesia for the surgery. Once the gallbladder is removed, the bile starts to flow out of the liver via common bile and the hepatic duct and directly flows into the duodenum rather than accumulating in the gallbladder.

Cholecystectomy is performed by the surgeons in two ways: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, Open Cholecystectomy.
