I have a query on Gall Bladder stones. My mother is suffering from pains dues to gall bladder stones. I want to check what is the best option for treatment. Is there a way to treat it without removing the gall bladder. Reports say there are 8-11 small stones clustered in the gall bladder.

If your mother is having stone. Only option is removal of gall bladder. Which does not affect the health as gall bladder is just an storage organ. Liver will take care of its function. So no problem with that. If there was no pain then surgery can be avoided but if there is pain surgery and removal of gall bladder is the only option. Gall bladder stones forms due to defect in gall bladder unlike kidney stones.So for gall stones removal of gall bladder is necessary other wise stones are formed again.
