My mom's scan showed a 30mm gallbladder stone and the doctor said she needs surgery. What kind of surgery would they do would it be laser treatment? How exactly do they remove a stone that big? Just worried about how the procedure works and what to expect.

For a 30mm gallbladder stone, the surgery is likely a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which removes the entire gallbladder through small incisions. While laser treatment can be used to fragment stones, it's not the primary method for gallbladder stone removal in this case. The 30mm stone would be removed along with the gallbladder.
