Can 1.1cm stone be discharged

summary

A few days ago when my friend had a physical examination, he found that there were gallstones, but the volume was not too large. So, can 1.1cm stones be discharged? Let's talk about it.

Can 1.1cm stone be discharged

First of all, there is no definite standard for how large a stone can be removed. Generally, stones about 1cm in diameter may be discharged through the dilated sphincter. Therefore, in the past, the indication of removing hepatolithiasis was about 1 cm in diameter. However, according to the reports in recent years, the largest stones discharged were 2.5 cm in transverse diameter and more than 5 cm in long diameter. Therefore, it is believed that small stones are easy to be discharged, and large stones (generally > 3cm) may be discharged after reasonable treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine as long as the general condition is good and there is no relative or absolute obstruction in local area.

Secondly, there are many small stones in intrahepatic bile duct, which are difficult to be treated by operation. Practice has proved that the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine can achieve good results in the treatment of intrahepatic stones. In the case of gallstones, to check in time, especially under the guidance of the doctor for reasonable treatment, treatment methods should also be based on their own physical condition and the guidance of the doctor.

Finally, whether the gallstone can be discharged depends on the size and shape of the gallstone and the functional state of the gallbladder and bile duct. According to the reported data, if the diameter of the gallstone is less than 0.5cm and there is no obvious inflammation of the gallbladder and bile duct, the stone removal therapy can achieve certain effect. Generally, the stone removal rate is about 10%. For single or large stones, stone removal is difficult.
