Hello. Treatment of gallstones by flexible endoscopic method is a minimally invasive, pain-relieving endoscopic measure for bile duct stones, especially extrahepatic bile duct stones, common bile duct stones (OMC stones). Besides, this method also has many advantages, including that the patient does not have to have surgery, is gentle, aesthetic, does not leave scars and has a fast recovery time.
If you want to learn more about the treatment of gallstones, you can go directly to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for in-depth consultation. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Thank you for trusting and sharing your concerns with Vinmec. Best regards.
