Biliary duct stone surgery process

Gallstones are a very common biliary disease. Once gallstones occur, they are very harmful to human health. In addition to active treatment, patients with gallstones also need to maintain a good attitude in their daily lives. They must have a balanced diet, do not eat too greasy food, try not to eat food with a high fat content, keep their diet as light as possible, and pay more attention to rest.

Bile duct stone surgery procedure

1. Common bile duct lithotomy plus T-tube drainage. It is suitable for patients with simple bile duct stones, unobstructed upper and lower ends of the bile duct, and no stenosis or other lesions. If there are gallbladder stones and cholecystitis, cholecystectomy can be performed at the same time. If conditions permit, intraoperative choledochal ultrasound examination or fiber choledochoscopy can be used to help reduce the residual rate.

2. Choledochoenteric anastomosis is also called endochoendothelial drainage, which is suitable for common bile duct dilatation greater than or equal to 2.5 cm. There are obstructive lesions such as inflammatory stenosis at the lower end, which are difficult to relieve by surgical methods, but the upper bile duct must be unobstructed and free of stenosis. If the stones are like mud and sand and are not easy to compact, or if there are residual stones or recurrent stones, Roux-en-Y bile duct jejunostomy is often used.

3. Minimally invasive gallbladder preservation and lithotomy is suitable for single gallbladder stones, multiple gallbladder stones, gallbladder stones with or without symptoms, gallbladder stones with repeated biliary colic, no stone impaction, non-acute inflammation, and good bile sound transmission. The gallbladder contraction function after a fatty meal is greater than or equal to 30%.

How much does bile duct stone surgery cost?

1. When suffering from bile duct stones, many stones will grow in the patient's bile duct. However, each patient's condition is different, so the number of bile duct stones is also different. For some patients with a large number of bile duct stones, the bile duct stone surgery will take a longer time, and the doctor also needs to use instruments to check whether the patient's bile duct stones have been removed. Therefore, compared with patients with fewer bile duct stones, the cost of bile duct stone surgery will be more expensive. Therefore, the cost of surgery will vary depending on the condition of bile duct stones.

2. Nowadays, no matter where you are, there are hospitals that perform bile duct stone surgery. However, some hospitals are not formal, the equipment is relatively backward, and the surgical supplies are not properly sterilized. The risk of bile duct stone surgery in such hospitals is relatively high, but the overall charges are cheaper. Formal hospitals have more advanced equipment and the surgical supplies are more properly sterilized. When performing bile duct stone surgery, the risk is relatively low, but the charges for bile duct stone surgery will be more expensive. This also shows that the choice of hospital will also affect the cost of bile duct stone surgery.

3. Different choices of doctors and regions will also affect the cost of bile duct stone surgery. Bile duct stone surgery is relatively delicate, so most patients will choose experienced old doctors to perform bile duct stone surgery. However, experienced old doctors have rich experience and academic qualifications, and they are in big cities, so the cost of bile duct stone surgery will be a bit more expensive. The cost of bile duct stone surgery performed by ordinary doctors and in small cities will be relatively low.
