Patient's question:
What should diabetic patients do if they need gallstone surgery? What precautions should be taken before and after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
If you have gallstones and need surgery, you first need to control your blood sugar. Unless in emergencies or severe cases, immediate surgery may be required. Generally, it is necessary to first control inflammation before performing minimally invasive surgery. Compared to traditional surgery, this approach results in less damage and a faster recovery. After the surgery, it is essential to follow a light diet and avoid greasy foods, as they can easily trigger a recurrence.
