Gallstones are pieces of solid materials that form in the gallbladder and when they block a bile duct and cause pain, you will need to get treatment right away. The treatment option for gallstones depends on how the symptoms are affecting your daily life, which includes laparoscopic surgery, open surgery, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
The type of procedure you undergo determines the recovery period. while you may be able to get back to your normal routine within 10 days after laparoscopic surgery, you may need to wait around 6 weeks to fully recover from open surgery. If you undergo ERCP, you should be able to go back to work after several days.
Gallstones treatment is known to be highly effective and successful, with about 90% of people have successful treatment. However, there are some risks and side effects to be aware of and the risks include infection, damage to the bile duct, bleeding, blood clots, and abdominal pain.
