How Can Gallbladder Stones Be Effectively Treated?
I have a 1.7 cm. gall bladder stone which is causing many attacks and much discomfort with many symptoms. Should I have just the stone removed, or the whole bladder. I am receiving different opinions from different doctors. Thank you so much for your advise.
Symptomatic gall bladder stone has to be treated. As you have much symptomatic cholecystitis attack, cholecystectomy that is the removal of gall bladder operation has to be done. So your whole gall bladder needs to be removed. Consult surgeon for examination and discuss all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Parth Goswami
