Yes the only approved and gold standard treatment option for gall bladder stones is cholecystectomy i.e removal of the gall bladder which is done with small key holes. It is the life long treatment for these stones. Surgery is very simple and straight forward. Gives very minimal pain resulting in short hospital stay and a faster recovery

[ ] Hi if there is no upper abdominal pain / post meal fullness / discomfort / upper back pain , then you don't require surgery. This is asymptomatic gall stone. In case you develop any of above symptoms then you require surgery. There is no any medicines in present world to dissolve gall bladder stone.
