How to Remove Gallbladder Stone without Operation

Removing gallstones without surgery is possible through several non-surgical treatment options. While surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is the most common approach for symptomatic gallstones, there are alternatives for those who cannot undergo surgery or prefer not to. Here’s an overview of the available non-surgical methods.

1. Medication

Bile Acid Pills: Medications such as ursodiol or chenodiol can dissolve cholesterol gallstones by thinning bile. This treatment is most effective for small, non-calcified stones and may take several months to years to work. However, these medications do not prevent recurrence and require ongoing use after treatment to maintain results.

2. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

This technique uses shock waves to break down gallstones into smaller fragments that can pass through the bile ducts and intestines. It is typically used for stones smaller than 2 cm and is more commonly associated with kidney stones but can be applied to gallstones in certain cases.

3. Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE) Injection

MTBE is a solvent injected directly into the gallbladder to dissolve stones rapidly. While this method can be effective, it is associated with significant side effects, including severe pain, and is generally reserved for specialized cases.

4. Endoscopic Procedures

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): This procedure allows doctors to remove stones from the bile duct using an endoscope. It can relieve symptoms caused by stones lodged in the bile duct but does not treat stones within the gallbladder itself.
Percutaneous Cholecystostomy: This involves placing a catheter through the skin into the gallbladder to drain bile and relieve pressure, often used for patients who are too ill for surgery.

5. Percutaneous Cholangioscopy

A newer technique where a camera is inserted into the gallbladder via an existing drain to visualize and remove stones without making new incisions. This method can effectively treat large or recurrent stones with minimal invasiveness.

Considerations

While these non-surgical treatments can be effective, they often come with limitations such as a higher chance of recurrence compared to surgical options. Additionally, they may only be suitable for specific types of gallstones (primarily cholesterol stones) and patients who meet certain health criteria.It’s essential for individuals experiencing symptoms of gallstones—such as abdominal pain, nausea, or jaundice—to consult with a best gallbladder stone doctor. They can provide tailored advice on the best treatment options based on individual health status and the characteristics of the gallstones.
