Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Your mother is having gallstones without complications now. She at present does not require any surgery.

But she may develop complications like cholecystitis, jaundice, pancreatitis etc.
Surgery is usually indicated when the gallstones cause symptoms.
Gallbladder has to be removed in that situation and can be done laparoscopically.

I hope that answers your query.
Regards,
Dr.R.K
