Treatment options for gallbladder multiple stones may include: Watchful Waiting: If you have asymptomatic gallstones (stones in the gallbladder that are not causing any symptoms), your doctor may choose a "wait-and-see" approach. Regular monitoring will be done to check for any development of symptoms or complications. Medications: In some cases, medications can be prescribed to dissolve gallstones. However, this option is usually only effective for certain types of smaller stones and may take months or even years to work. It's generally not recommended for larger stones or when there are multiple stones. Surgical Removal of Gallbladder (Cholecystectomy): The most common treatment for gallbladder multiple stones is surgical removal of the gallbladder. This procedure, known as cholecystectomy, can be done either through open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. The latter involves smaller incisions, less scarring, and a quicker recovery time. Endoscopic Procedures: In some cases, when surgery is not suitable or preferred, endoscopic procedures can be performed to remove gallstones from the bile duct. These procedures include endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS). The choice of treatment depends on various factors such as the size and number of gallstones, symptoms experienced, overall health, and individual preferences. |
