Gall bladder stone

2024-06-08 07:49:38
Recently I did an ultrasound and my report says Gallbladder is over distended (12cm in length) and shows a hyperechoic calculus measuring 18.5mm in neck. Gal bladder wall appears midly thickened and measures 3.5mm. Should I opt for surgery? There is no pain yet in that area.
