Brief Answer: If related symptoms exist, operation is treatment Detailed Answer: Hi You had not given details about your sister problem. Even though a lot of people have stone in the gall bladder duct they may not produce symptoms. If they have high fever, abdominal pain and / or jaundice, then removal of gall bladder is the first choice. Your sister will fit into this category if she has recurrent bouts of symptoms.
