Hi.
I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.
Usually, surgery (cholecystectomy) is the treatment of choice for large & multiple stones as in your case. But if surgery is contraindicated (due to any other medical illness) , you can have tab. Udiliv for 6-12months.
Consult a surgeon for further assistance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
