Is Laparoscopy Advisable For Gall Bladder Removal?
Hello Doctor, I am from Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. I have been recently detected with chronic cholecystitis and fatty liver (grade -II). My gall bladder is densely packed with calculi forming a dense posterior acoustic shadow (WES complex). Around 1 year back, my gall bladder was having a singly calculus of 16mm size. I want to know if laproscopic surgery is possible for removal of my gall bladder, as the ultrasonologist doubted on it and suggested open surgery in my case. Kindly guide me.

You need an operation for gall bladder removal. Kindly attach your sonography report for giving more comment on that.
If as per reports and examination laparoscopy operation possible, then better to operate by laparoscopy. Consult surgeon for examination and discuss your case.
