Gallstones are pebble-like nuisances that can form inside the gallbladder. Mostly, gallstones do not cause any symptoms or problems. However, gallstones can cause symptoms if they become caught in the narrow outlet of the gallbladder or in the ducts that drain the gallbladder.
- Diagnosis
Eighty percent of people with gallstones do not have any symptoms and do not need treatment. Patients might experience abdominal pain, sensitivity to high fat meals, belching, gas, nausea, etc.
- Treatment
Nearly 90 percent of patients get surgery called laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Using small instruments that are placed through other small incisions, the surgeon is able to remove fluid and stones from the gallbladder to deflate it.
Some patients have a larger incision in a type of surgery called open cholecystectomy. In this surgery, a larger diagonal incision is made above the gallbladder, and the surgeon removes the gallbladder using a direct view instead of a camera.
