If she is asymptomatic, leave it alone
if she has no symptoms, of abdominal pain, jaundice, or any prior history of that pain with fever,
then no need of surgery
let me explain. I have been doing hepatobilary surgery for last 20 y. she needs removal of gall bladder. best time of surgery is when no pain. why she needs surgery? 1. gall bladder with stones is non functioning gall bladder can any time perforate can cause acute pain and now a days gall stone induced pancreatitis is very common itcan vlbe very dangerous. 2 . stone can slip any time and patient will develop obstructive jaundice so again long treatment. 3.Although igall stones don't cause cancer but 80 percent patient having cancer are having gall stones . don't take any risk get it operated and from next day go to your work it's very safe surgery
Better to get her assessed by a surgeon in case of multiple stones it’s better to get it removed
Where are you from? As it will need physical assessment. Since she is diabetic she may not have severe symptoms of gallstones.
In non-diabetic patients with gallstones, it can be left alone if they are not causing pain. But, for diabetic patients, it is better to get it removed because in diabetic patients sumptoms of pain are not prominanat so patient can present with severe complications.. So it is better to get laparoscopic removal of gallbladder..
