Gallbladder with recurrent cholecystitis
Most of the cholecystitis attacks are due to the presence of gallbladder stones blocking the exit of the gallbladder, resulting in the bile in the gallbladder can not be discharged smoothly, and the gallbladder "suffocated", resulting in cholecystitis. In addition, a small percentage of gallbladders can become inflamed without the presence of stones, which is called stone-free cholecystitis.
Gallbladder that may cause or has caused bile duct stones
As mentioned above, cholecystitis occurs when stones block the exit of gallbladder, these stones are bigger ones, while smaller ones can flow out of the gallbladder smoothly and then block in the common bile duct. At this point, neither the bile secreted by the liver nor the bile stored in the gallbladder can flow into the small intestine, so there are only two ways for the bile to go, one way is to return to the gallbladder, resulting in an enlarged and inflamed gallbladder, and the other way is to return to the liver, and then enter the bloodstream through the tiny bile ducts in the liver, resulting in a yellowing of the whole body's skin and eyes, which is known as obstructive jaundice. "Jaundice.
The gallbladder may or has triggered biliary pancreatitis.
Large stones are blocked at the exit of the gallbladder, smaller ones are blocked at the common bile duct, and what about smaller ones? Such stones are called "sediment stones", they can reach the opening of the common bile duct, which is in the duodenum, next to the opening of the pancreatic duct, so these very small stones can enter the pancreatic duct more "smoothly". The next small stones can enter the pancreatic duct more "smoothly", inducing "biliary pancreatitis", obviously, this kind of sediment-like stones gallbladder is even more to be avoided.
The most important thing to remember is that it's a good idea to have a gallbladder that is not functioning.
Although some patients have not had cholecystitis attacks, but the gallbladder is full of stones (full stones), bile is very little or almost no; or due to excessive proliferation and thickening of the wall of the gallbladder, resulting in the gallbladder cavity almost disappeared (gallbladder adenomyosis). For these two cases, due to the gallbladder almost no bile can enter the gallbladder, the gallbladder does not have the function of storing concentrated bile, become a "non-functional gallbladder", if you continue to stay, may also lead to gallbladder cancer, the loss is not worth it.
Polyps in the gallbladder
Not all gallbladder polyps need to remove the gallbladder. The polyp of the gallbladder, a single polyp less than 1cm in diameter, there is often suggestive of benign lesions, regular review of the abdominal ultrasound can be. Generally speaking, the gallbladder single polyp, diameter greater than 1cm, wide base, or gallbladder polyps in the follow-up process of enlargement, is to remove the gallbladder signal.
Sixth, highly suspected malignant gallbladder
This should be needless to say, for suspected or determined to be malignant gallbladder lesions, if the situation permits, of course, "can be cut, cut".
