My ultrasound showed an umbilical hernia with omentum herniation that's irreducible and has thickening. There's mention of strangulation too. Since it's only omentum involved, is surgery absolutely necessary or can we manage without it?

yes.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
My mom's ultrasound showed her gallbladder is full of polyps, with the largest being 15mm. The gastroenterologist recommended surgery to remove the gallbladder. Are there any alternative treatments like homeopathy that could help instead of surgery?
Since the stone is larger in size 15mm, surgery is the gold standard procedure advised to the patient. Cholecystectomy. Surgery is advised to the patient.Homeopathy treatment is upto your choice.

I'm considering laparoscopy for gallbladder stones but heard sometimes it doesn't work and they have to switch to full surgery during the procedure - is that true? And is there any way to know beforehand if this might happen in my case?
Yes, it's true that sometimes laparoscopic gallbladder removal (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) can be converted to open surgery (open cholecystectomy) during the procedure. While laparoscopic surgery is the preferred method due to its quicker recovery and smaller incisions, certain factors can necessitate a switch to open surgery
