Indication for surgical treatment of polypoid lesion of gallbladder / 中华全科医师杂志

ABSTRACT

This study was to investigate the indication for surgical treatment of polypoid lesion of gallbladder (PLG). Clinical and pathological data from 121 PLG patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecysteotomy were retrospectively analyzed. Asymptomatic or moderate symptomatic PLG was seen in 67. Pathology test-confirmed cholesterol, hyperplasia, and adenomatous polyps were found in 111 (91.7%), 8 (6. 6%), and 2 (1.7%), respectively. Our data suggest that most PLG might be benign and have non-neoplasm nature. Over-operation may be unnecessary, and the indication for surgical procedure should be prudently controlled.
