Gall bladder surgery: yes or no?

Gall bladder surgery: yes or no
Usual rule is that it is not necessary to operate the gallbladder with stones in it, if it is not causing any symptoms or any other problems to people having them. However, gallbladder surgery with stones should be suggested to patients who:

1. Have pain (fierce attacks) despite an adjusted diet

2. Patients who had complications due to gall stones (inflammation of the gallbladder, bile ducts or inflammation of the pancreas)

3. Patient regardless of whether they have or have not any difficulties, with increased risk of complications if they do not have gallbladder surgery, and those are patients with non-functioning, then chronic inflammatory changed bile bag, with calcified gallbladder wall, and then increased bile bag which threatens to rupture gallbladder

4. When patients with or without stones have visible polyps (benign tumors) in the gallbladder. Gallbladder polyps usually do not create problems and very often are accidentally discovered by ultrasound of the abdominal cavity
