Brief Answer:
6mm Is apparently benign

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

I have seen your report the polyps are up to 6mm that is less than a centimeter

Most polyps of this size are benign, but with the advances in Laparoscopic surgery and specifically for gall bladder, patients prefer getting gall bladders with Polyp removed, as the incidence increase with size crossing half an inch

The surgery is safe and removal of gall bladder does not have any major side effect on the body

Hope this helps
