I have an 18mm gallbladder stone and my doctor recommended surgery to remove the gallbladder. Is this the best treatment option or are there other alternatives I should consider? I'm a bit worried about the surgery and want to understand if it's really necessary for a stone this size. What would you advise?
An 18mm gallbladder stone is quite large and can cause complications like pain, infection, or blockage. Surgery (cholecystectomy) is generally the best and safest treatment to prevent these issues. While non-surgical options exist, they are less effective for stones this size. I recommend discussing the risks and benefits with your surgeon, but surgery is usually advised in your case.
