Can gallstones and ovarian cysts be treated with one surgery?

Can gallstones and ovarian cysts be treated with one surgery?

1. Consider whether you want to express whether gallstones and ovarian cysts can be operated on together. Gallstones and ovarian cysts generally cannot be operated on together.

2. The causes of gallstone formation are relatively complex, and are related to a variety of factors, including excessive cholesterol in bile, excessive bile pigments in bile, and incomplete bile emptying. If the patient's gallstones are relatively small, there are usually no obvious symptoms. As the size of the stones increases, they will repeatedly stimulate the gallbladder area, causing upper abdominal discomfort and a feeling of fullness after meals. Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological disease, and the causes of their formation are related to environmental factors, infection factors, hormone levels, and other factors. If the cyst increases in size, there will be discomfort and swelling in the lower abdomen.

3. Gallstones can generally be treated through laparoscopic cholecystectomy and open cholecystectomy, while ovarian cysts generally require ovarian cystectomy and affected-side oophorectomy. Since gallstones and ovarian cysts are two different diseases, gallstones generally need to be treated in the gastroenterology department, while ovarian cysts generally need to be treated in the gynecology department. They are not within the treatment scope of the same department, so they usually cannot be operated on at the same time.

4. Whether it is gallstones or ovarian cysts, you must actively cooperate with the doctor to avoid worsening of the condition. If you have surgery, pay more attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep.
