Why surgery works

when the gallbladder has stones in it the inflammation causes the wall to thicken and the gallbladder contracts poorly if at all. In these conditions Gallstones will very often recur if dissolved or removed by an effective method eg cholecystotomy, lithotripsy. This is why laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the method the vast majority of doctors and nurses would choose for curing their gallstones. Intrahepatic stones are rare and related to diseases of the intrahepatic bile ducts rather than cholecystitis.
