How to crush intrahepatic bile duct stones?

There are several methods for intrahepatic bile duct stones: first, drugs; The second is extracorporeal lithotripsy; The third is surgical stone removal, and the fourth is interventional stone removal.

Drug stone removal has uncertain curative effect and long treatment time, so it is possible to adopt other methods after repeated treatment;

Extracorporeal lithotripsy and ultrasonic lithotripsy are effective for fewer massive stones, but not for sediment-like stones.

The curative effect of surgical lithotomy is exact and thorough, but it is painful and expensive, and it is easy to form abdominal adhesion after operation.

Interventional lithotripsy is less painful and has a better effect on a small amount of intrahepatic bile duct stones, but it may not be possible to remove the stones, and it is necessary to cut the duodenal papilla during treatment, which may lead to duodenal papilla stenosis;

In short, the treatment of intrahepatic bile duct stones needs to be selected according to the specific situation. No matter which treatment method is used, the possibility of recurrence of intrahepatic bile duct stones is very high. More importantly, we should pay attention to the reasonable diet structure (low fat and easy to digest, small meals are better, breakfast is very important, don't skip it) and the quality of drinking water. Good living habits have a good effect on preventing recurrence.
