Surgery is necessary for gallstones

In clinical practice, the indication for gallstone surgery does not depend on the size of the gallbladder stone, generally if the stone is more than one centimeter, it often produces the symptoms of cholecystitis and induces cholecystitis, this situation can be considered for surgical treatment, but for some stones less than one centimeter, even if the patient has more stones, but does not produce any clinical symptoms, this situation does not require surgery.

In addition, some sediment-like stones, even if they are very small, can easily lead to bile duct obstruction, resulting in cholecystitis,cirrhosisIn the case of cholestatic hepatitis, even if the stone is very small or muddy, it is necessary to have a gallbladder removal.

In short, in clinical practice, the size of gallstones is not the only indicator to decide to remove the gallbladder, it is necessary to combine the patient's condition and the imaging manifestations of the patient, as well as whether the stone has caused certain damage to the gallbladder and liver, and then make a comprehensive assessment to decide whether to take gallbladder removal surgery or gallstone-sparing surgery.
