It is mainly composed of various undigested plant ingredients, includingTannic acid, cellulosepectin, colloid, etc.Stomach persimmon stone is the most common plantstone。
It is composed of hair, and can also be mixed with wool and animal hair. It is mostly seen in neurotic women who have the habit of swallowing hair, and it mostly occurs between 20 and 30 years old.
(1) X-ray examinationX-ray barium meal fluoroscopy or air barium double contrast examination can find the shunting phenomenon of barium in the stomach, and show the free, lumpy, round or oval floating on the upper layer of bariumFilling defectArea, andgastric mucosaStructural finishing,Gastric wallSoft.When the barium in the stomach is emptied, there are still bands, networks or sheets of barium spots adhering to the mass shadow.There is no obvious tenderness when pressing the shadow of the lump, and the contour shape and position can be changed with the strength, indicating that the lump has a certain degreeCompressibilityas well asVagrancy。
(2) EndofibroscopyThe shape and character of intragastric stones can be observed directly under fiber endoscope.
(3) B-ultrasonic inspectionB-ultrasound is helpful in the diagnosis of gastrolith.Patients are usually instructed to drink 500~1000ml of water,SeatingorSemi recumbent positionThrough examination, we can see clearly definedStrong echoThe mass image is floating on the water and can change its position with the change of body position or gastric peristalsis.

Patients with chronic gastric persimmon stone often have chronic symptoms due to the long course of diseasegastritis、ulcerorgastric cancerSimilar, but throughX-rayBarium radiography orGastroscopyIt is easy to differentiate from the above diseases.
For plant gastrolith, applicationsodium bicarbonateThe treatment has a long history. It can be taken orally alone or in the same amount at the same timefoaming agentStrengthen the curative effect and shorten the course of treatment.Some people advocate to add the above treatmentPepsinorTrypsin, also availableChymotrypsin(Alpha Chymotrypsin)Dissolve in water and take orally or fromGastric canalMedium injection, also addedAcetylcysteineSoluble innormal saline, injected from gastric tube for 2-3 days.Metoclopramide can be used for patients with poor gastric motility(Metoclopramide)Domperidone orSisapriTo promote gastric peristalsis and facilitate stone removal.In addition, papain orcellulase(cellulase) Dissolve in water, and the effect can be seen even after taking it for 2 days.
2. Manual lithotripsy
For patients with gastrolith without obvious symptoms and complications, such as persimmon stone and hawthorn gastrolith, external abdominal massage can be tried to crush the stomach lumps into small pieces, and then gastric lavage or oral laxatives can be used to speed up the discharge of the lumps.
In the early years, a net made of metal wires was inserted into the stomach tube, and when barium was used to show stomach stones, the net was used to cover and tighten the wires to cut stomach stones.Repeat the operation to make it cut into pieces and discharge naturally.On this basis, sodium bicarbonate and metoclopramide (metoclopramide) can also be added to promote the excretion of stones.
4. Fibroscope lithotripsy
Applied fiberEndoscopic therapyGastrolith develops rapidly, and there are many joint methods.Can be used under the mirrorBiopsy forcepsBite, clamp, tamp and puncture to destroy the gastrolith capsule or shell, and repeatedly flush with water;Endoscope can also be usedScalpelRepeatedly cut off the gastrolith capsule and the lump.Or use steel wire under fiber endoscopeSnarer, cut the stone body, and then grab it into pieces with a pocket clamp to let it discharge naturally.In recent years, laser detonating lithotripsy under fiber endoscope has become an effective new way to treat gastrolith at home and abroad, especially for large and hard gastrolith.In addition, it can also be used for microwave lithotripsy under fiber endoscope, which is another simple method recently applied to treat gastric stones.
Development of extracorporeal shock wave from treatment of kidney stones to treatmentgallstone, which has been tried for treatment in recent yearsGastric calculusAnd succeed.
Stomach stone is large and hardInsoluble, medical treatment, endoscopic lithotripsy, microwave or shock wave treatment did not work, or the complications were seriousgastric ulcerThe patients with bleeding, perforation or obstruction should be treated by surgery.
