Laparoscopic cholecystectomy shows superior clinical efficacy compared to non-invasive gallstone dissolution, enhancing patient quality of life. In a study of 86 cholelithiasis patients, surgical intervention resulted in a higher effective rate, faster symptom relief, and shorter hospital stays, despite increased costs. Additionally, the surgical group experienced fewer complications and lower recurrence rates. Improvements in SF-36 health survey scores highlighted better overall health post-treatment in the surgical group, emphasizing its potential for broader clinical application.
