Alternatively, stones are treated with lithotripsy that produces sound waves to break the gallstones or given the surgical treatment of removing the gallbladder.

ENDOSCOPIC TECHNIQUES:

When a surgeon identifies the gallstone using an X-ray, Ultrasound, or MRI method which gives the images of blocking bile or pancreatic duct.
They use miniaturized instruments inserted through the ERCP which gently enlarge the ductal opening and allow the stone to be removed.

MEDICATIONS:

The Doctor suggests drugs that can dissolve the gallstones. But they are ineffective at times and are also not suggested in all cases.
The common drug given for bile stone is ursodiol(bile salt) that gradually dissolves the cholesterol within the stones.
If the medicine is discontinued by the patient there is a possibility of bile duct stone occurrence again and again.

LTHORISPSY:

In this type of procedure, a high-frequency sound wave is allowed to break the gall stones. After the procedure, the patient intakes the bile salt tablets to dissolve the bile stones pieces. Only a few people are recommended for this type of treatment who has a big single stone.
The patient who has an infection (cholangitis) or inflammation (cholecystitis) of the gallbladder is not recommended for this procedure.
The stone is identified by the Ultrasound and Extracorporeal (meaning outside of the body) shock wave lithotripsy is performed by allowing high-intensity waves on the area of stone to break the gall stone into pieces.
This procedure is performed for 45 minutes allowing the patient to become sedate for some time.

Surgery:

Surgery for the bile stone is a common procedure of removing the gall bladder called a cholecystectomy. When the gallbladder is removed using the miniaturized instrument laparoscope is called laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Laparoscopy:

The laparoscopic procedure is performed for the patient who has severe infection or inflammation inside the gallbladder.
During this procedure, the laparoscope makes a half or quarter size incision over the abdomen part.
The miniaturized instrument endoscopy, camera, and other instruments are inserted into the gallbladder.
The camera provides a video monitor to show the inflated gallbladder to the doctor and who in return removes the gallbladder using the instruments inserted through one incision and remove the gallbladder from other incision.
The patients return to normal conditions within three to five days.

Open Surgery:

Sometimes the open surgery is recommended by the doctor to the patients who have severe infections in the gallbladder or gallbladder lining is hardened which makes it difficult for the surgeon to remove it using the laparoscopic procedure.
The procedure is infrequent based on the severity of the patient’s gallbladder disease condition.
