Published on Apr 22 2010, in the categories: Gallbladder
The gallbladder (or gall) is a small bag that is in contact with the underside of the liver and serves as a repository for bile. During digestion the download in the duodenum, the first part of the intestine will allow digestion and absorption of fats. A meal acts as a reservoir encouraging the concentration of bile, absorbing water and improving digestive power.
Calculator. It is the most common disease of the gallbladder and affects approximately 10-15% of the Italian people.
Gall bladder disease signs and symptoms. "If something does not work in context or composition of bile, formed the calculations," Salvatore says Strache, head of general surgery and orthopedic specialist of the Institute of Southern Italy and teacher at the school of specialization in surgery, University of Messina.
"Many patients are often unaware of having those stones in the abdomen and the discovery by chance after abdominal ultrasound for other conditions. Other times, the calculations are being felt, or difficulty in digestion or with pain in upper abdominal. Patients need to pay good attention to the gall bladder disease signs and symptoms and see a doctor if they feel something is wrong.
The cardinal symptom of gallstones is colic bladder is expressed with a right hip pain of increasing intensity that may radiate to the back and right shoulder. The pain usually occurs after a meal rich in fat and is often associated with nausea, vomiting rarely in food or bile. Usually the pain resolves spontaneously after about four hours and the presence of other signs such as fever and longer duration of pain suggest a complication of gallstones which cholecystitis. This last occurrence is rather rare in the first attack. As stated, however, the gallstones may be completely asymptomatic and has been estimated that patients with a risk calculations have to colic bladder by about 15-30% at 10-20 years.
Diagnosis. Just a careful evaluation of symptoms accompanied by abdominal ultrasound will detect the presence and extent of gallstones.
Cholecystectomy. The project is now done with laparoscopic techniques, practicing three small cuts where you insert an optical probe, forceps and an ultrasonic scalpel, making the removal of the gallbladder. The cuts are small (0.5 cm -1) and does not open more, as once the abdominal wall. The hospital stay is very short (24 to 96 hours).
Consequences. The body adapts to operate without gallbladder bile goes directly to the duodenum from the liver, performing its function.
Chronic inflammation of the gallbladder is manifested by signs much more nuanced: the patient may experience a feeling of heaviness or a dull pain under the ribs on the right, may have a slight fever the evening, may complain of occasional digestive problems such as lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, air in the stomach, intolerance of fatty foods that require bile for digestion. Carcinoma of the gallbladder causes disorders similar to those of chronic cholecystitis, only advanced stage I appear signs of cachexia.
