Gallbladder stones
Hello,
I have a 14mm gallstone. I want to understand if there's a hospital that treats gallstones with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy. I understand this is not a commonly acceptable treatment due to reoccurrence but I want to give my gall bladder a chance before removing it all together.
I'm based out of bangalore.
