Rephrased Query: I recently got my USG and MRCP reports, and the surgeon recommended surgery to remove my CBD and gallbladder, then connect my liver directly to the small intestine. I'm really worried is surgery absolutely necessary based on these findings? Are there any medications or other treatments that could help avoid surgery? And if surgery is the only option, what kind of long-term effects should I expect from having my CBD and gallbladder removed?

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

I have a lipoma on the inner side of my thigh, around 4 by 5 cm in size. It doesn't hurt, and the FNAC test confirmed it's a lipoma. I've heard that thigh lipomas can sometimes turn into liposarcoma should I be worried about that? If I don't get it surgically removed, could it cause issues later? Are there any other ways to shrink it besides surgery?

Lipomas do not transform often;monitor size and consult a surgeon.If large,liposuction or excision under local anesthesia is typical.
