Bile Stone Removal Treatment
Bile stones, or gallstones, can cause significant discomfort and lead to complications like bile duct obstruction or infection. Treatment typically involves removing the stones to prevent further issues. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a minimally invasive procedure often used to locate and remove stones from the bile duct. In more severe cases, surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) may be recommended, especially if recurrent stones or complications arise.
If gallstones are asymptomatic, they may not require immediate treatment, but regular monitoring is advised. For patients who cannot undergo surgery, medications such as ursodeoxycholic acid can be prescribed to dissolve smaller stones over time. Dietary changes, such as reducing fat intake and maintaining a healthy weight, can also prevent gallstone formation.
