The size of the stone is being 13.5 mm you should consider consultation with the surgeon at a later date. Surgery should be considered for patients who have symptomatic cholelithiasis or gallstone-related complications (e.g., cholecystitis) or in asymptomatic patients with immune suppression, calcified gallbladder, or family history of gallbladder cancer.

Cholelithiasis which is gall stone doesn't require surgery until it's infected ( cholecystitis) or obstructive leading to jaundice , plz consult for medical therapy .
