What are my options for treatment of gall stones? part II

treatment of gall stones
Patients after this procedure, if they have no complications, go home on the 4th day, must adhere to diet regime for about a month and after these procedures there is no possibility of postoperative hernias in place of the former classic cuts.
Patients often ask the doctor "Do you have to operate on the entire gall bag or can pull out just a stone or stones from the gallbladder? It is necessary to remove the entire bag because there are no ways of taking just pieces of sand or stones by surgery.

Sometimes, when diagnostic procedure shows that there is a stone, stones or sand in the main bile duct (ductus choledochus), or when there has been a rupture (cracking) due to inflammatory changes and stones in the gallbladder it is necessary to make a classic gall bladder surgery. Then the incision is usually a bit bigger because it is necessary to remove the stones or sand from the main duct and remove the gall bag with stones and take all precautions to avoid postoperative sepsis (spread of infection in the blood, where it continues to spread throughout the body and can cause the state of septic shock and death).
