Op says that the best diagnostic method for gallstones is abdominal ultrasound. Dr. Esen shared important information in his speech on the subject.
IT BEGINS TO BE SEEN FROM THE 20S.
The expert said, “After the disease is detected, if there is no problem that will cause surgery, surgical treatment is applied with a closed method. If the patient stays in the hospital for 1 night and there is no problem, he is discharged. So, in whom is it seen more? Factors such as gender and age are effective in the formation of gallbladder stones. Gallbladder stones, which begin to be seen in the society from the age of 20, are more common in women and those over the age of 40.
Lifestyle also affects stone formation. Obesity, genetic predisposition, high-calorie diet, and sedentary life are factors in the formation of gallstones. Gallbladder stones can range from the size of a grain of sand to completely covering the gallbladder. These stones not only cause inflammation in the gallbladder, but also cause serious problems if they block the bile duct. In addition to jaundice due to obstruction of the bile ducts, they can cause acute pancreatitis, which is a very dangerous disease. That’s why we recommend surgery to patients with stones in their gallbladder before bigger problems occur.
If the patient has no obstacle to surgery, we perform it laparoscopically. After surgery, people can easily live without a gallbladder. “The gallbladder is a storage organ and the bile flowing from the liver is sufficient for digestion,” he said. (UAV)
