What age is suitable for cholecystectomy

summary

Cholecystectomy should be considered when gallstones appear in the body, but cholecystectomy should consider many factors, such as age and physical condition at that time. Whether the body is fully developed and so on. Now let's know what age is suitable for cholecystectomy.

What age is suitable for cholecystectomy

First, stones were found in the common bile duct; cholangitis and jaundice were found during the operation. Intraoperative cholangiography showed bile duct stones, common bile duct dilatation, diameter more than 12 mm, but there were rare patients with bile duct dilatation without stones. The positive rate of this point in common bile duct exploration is only about 35%.

Second: cholecystectomy is divided into antegrade (from the cystic duct) resection and retrograde (from the bottom of the gallbladder) resection. Antegrade cholecystectomy is less bleeding and easy to operate. However, when the inflammation is serious, the gallbladder adheres closely to the surrounding organs, and it is difficult to expose the cystic duct and cystic artery, the retrograde resection is appropriate. Sometimes it is necessary to combine the two.

Third, the gallbladder is located on the right side of the abdomen, below the liver. The gallbladder stores and condenses bile from the liver and transports it to the duodenum to help digest fat. Bile is discharged from the gallbladder into the duodenum through the cystic duct and common bile duct. Gallbladder surgery is used to treat gallbladder diseases, mainly cholelithiasis. Obstruction of the cystic duct causes severe abdominal pain - biliary colic.
