Gall Stone Treatment & Surgery
Gallbladder surgery, or cholecystectomy, is the most common method for treating gallstones. Each year more than 500,000 Americans have gallbladder surgery. Surgery options include the standard procedure, called open cholecystectomy, and a less invasive procedure, called laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The standard cholecystectomy is a major abdominal surgery in which the surgeon removes the gallbladder through a 5- to 8-inch incision. Patients may remain in the hospital about a week and may require several additional weeks to recover at home.
Non Surgical Approach for Gall Stone Treatment Nonsurgical approaches are used only in special situations, and only for gallstones that are predominantly cholesterol. Oral dissolution therapy with ursodiol (Actigall) and chenodiol (Chenix) works best for small, cholesterol gallstones. These medicines are made from the acid naturally found in bile. They most often are used in individuals who cannot tolerate surgery. Treatment may be required for months or years before gallstones are dissolved, and the drugs do have side effects. The alternatives to gallbladder surgery leave the gallbladder intact; so stone recurrence, which happens in about half of the cases, is a major drawback.
All of these surgical and non surgical can really hurt your pockets. There is a better solution for treating gall stones and that is a product called GallStoneOut, the best and proven way for gall stone treatment.
