Abstract

As the most common digestive‑system disease, cholelithiasis and gallbladder polyps have a high incidence. The most common treatment is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but there are numerous drawbacks, including stump syndrome. In the present study, a novel treatment, namely transgastric endoscopic gallbladder polypectomy and cholecystolithiasis, was applied. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to report on this application, which can potentially avoid open surgery and associated scars and allows for rapid recovery after surgery, and may therefore be worthy of further development and implementation in clinical practice. It is esteemed that in the future, transgastric endoscopy gallbladder polypectomy and cholecystolithiasis will be considered as a treatment option for certain patients and is subjected to constant improvements.
