Paragraphs
Treatment for gallstones depends on the type of gallstones, the severity of symptoms, and your overall health. The main options include:
Remove
<h3>1. Surgical Treatment (Cholecystectomy)</h3><p>Surgery is the most common and effective treatment for symptomatic gallstones. It involves removing the gallbladder, a non-essential organ, allowing most people to live a healthy life without it.</p>
Remove
<ul><li><strong>Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy:</strong> This is the preferred method for most patients. It is a minimally invasive surgery where small incisions and special tools are used to remove the gallbladder.</li><li><strong>Open Cholecystectomy:</strong>This surgery requires a more extensive abdominal incision. It's usually reserved for cases where the gallbladder is severely inflamed, infected, or scarred, or if complications arise during laparoscopic surgery.</li></ul>
Remove
<h3>2. Non-Surgical Treatments</h3><p> These are less common and usually reserved for people who can't undergo surgery. These treatments aim to dissolve the gallstones or break them up. They include:<p><ul><li><strong>Medications:</strong> Pharmacological options exist to dissolve cholesterol-based gallstones, but this process can be lengthy, spanning months to years, with a risk of stone recurrence after treatment cessation.</li><li><strong>Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): </strong>This procedure involves inserting a thin, flexible tube through the mouth and down into the small intestine to remove stones lodged in the bile ducts.</li><li><strong>Shock Wave Lithotripsy:</strong> Shock wave lithotripsy, a technique employing sound waves to fragment gallstones, is an infrequently used treatment option.</li></ul>

Recovery time varies. Most people can return to their normal activities within a few weeks after laparoscopic surgery. Open surgery takes longer to recover from. SCI Hospital will give you detailed instructions to help you recover smoothly. Book an appointment for personalised guidance.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Gallstone size doesn't always determine if surgery is needed. It depends more on whether you have symptoms. Even small gallstones can cause blockages and pain. SCI Hospital can assess your situation and suggest the best approach. Contact us today for a consultation.
Remove
Question:
Answer:
Gallstones themselves cannot come back after gallbladder removal. Sometimes, stones may rarely form in the bile ducts. SCI Hospital offers follow-up care to check for and address any new stones. Schedule a consultation at SCI Hospital to discuss this.
Remove
