Gallstones are common in the United States, affecting an estimated 1 in 7 adults. Fortunately, they are asymptomatic in up to 80% of cases, and current guidelines do not recommend cholecystectomy unless they cause symptoms. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones, acute cholecystitis, and gallstone pancreatitis.
在美国，胆结石很常见，估计每 7 个成年人中就有 1 个会受到影响。幸运的是，多达 80%的病例没有症状，目前的指南建议除非结石引起症状，否则不建议进行胆囊切除术。腹腔镜胆囊切除术是治疗有症状的胆结石、急性胆囊炎和胆石性胰腺炎的标准治疗方法。
