Gallstone disease, also known as biliary stone disease, is a fairly common disease in our country, accounting for more than 80% of the total number of patients with gallstones. If not treated promptly, the disease can cause many dangerous complications such as causing biliary obstruction, inflammation, biliary bleeding, acute pancreatitis.

There is no specific size that dictates when gallstones require surgery. Not all gallstone cases need surgical intervention. It depends on the complications caused by the stones and the patient's health status. Doctors will then make the most appropriate recommendations.
