It is said that there are many cases of cholelithiasis among patients who visit the emergency room because of a feeling of bloating, bloating, and abdominal pain. Cholelithiasis refers to the formation of stones in the gallbladder or bile duct.
It is different from urolithiasis that occurs in the kidney or urethra. Cholelithiasis is a common disease that affects 1 in 10 people, and it can occur anywhere bile flows.
Cholelithiasis is caused by hardening of bile in the gallbladder and bile ducts. Usually, women show a 2 to 4 times higher incidence than men, because female hormones inhibit bile secretion and the bile is concentrated.
It is known that it is more severe in obese women, who have given birth many times, or who are on birth control pills or hormone therapy. Recently, severe dieting has also been pointed out as a cause.
Gallstone disease is accompanied by dull pain, simple pressure, epigastric discomfort, and indigestion, but it is often not felt. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, or digestive disorders, as well as nausea. Fever, cold, trembling chills, and in severe cases, jaundice symptoms appear.
Jeong-yoon Kim, director of single fasting laparoscopy center at Cheongdam Tunton Hospital[사진]single-empty laparoscopic cholecystectomy is appropriate for cholelithiasis accompanied by these symptoms.
Director Kim said, “In single-hole laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a small 2cm hole is made in the navel and a laparoscope and surgical instruments are inserted through it.” There is less pain and a quicker recovery can be expected.”
Gallstones can be prevented by improving dietary habits. According to Director Kim, to avoid cholelithiasis, high-calorie, high-fat, high-protein meals can be avoided, and regular exercise alone can prevent enough.
