To the question "How to completely remove stones in the liver and bile?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
After surgery for common bile duct stones, There is still a risk of stones again, possibly stones in the liver drifting down the common bile duct Currently, the kehr method of biliary lithotripsy is rarely applied because of its complexity and the risk of complications such as leaking bile into the fossa. belly. Methods to completely remove the stone in this case: open cholecystectomy, open the common bile duct to remove the stone, and preferred biliary-enteric anastomosis. If you still have questions about the treatment after surgery for common bile duct stones, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice.
