Treatment status and meditation of benign gallbladder diseases

ABSTRACT

Benign gallbladder diseases are common diseases in general surgery, including gallstones, polypoid lesions, cholecystitis, etc. In China, the treatment of benign gallbladder diseases is still not standardized, which mainly shows in following aspects (1)the tendency of cholecystectomy to all gallbladder diseases may result in the incidence of abdominal pain, distension, diarrhea and bile duct injury after surgery; (2)the attitude of "no-surgery" in which the standard cholecystectomy fails to implement in time for the benign gallbladder diseases with potential high-risk factors for gallbladder cancer, as a result, patients develop occurrence of gallbladder cancer. Especially, gallbladder sparing surgery is an unscientific surgery for benign gallbladder diseases, the gallbladder may become a high-risk factor for cancer after the operation. Implementation of standard cholecystectomy in time for benign gallbladder diseases with potential high risk gallbladder cancer can not only significantly reduce the incidence of gallbladder cancer, but also significantly improve the early diagnosis and the prognosis. Based on current literatures, the authors analyze the treatment status of benign gallbladder diseases, and investigate the disputes and problems in surgical indications, operation time and the selection of treatments of benign gallbladder diseases.
