Multiple Calculi, Alternative To Surgery?
I had whole abdominal ultrasound last week and the result says multiple calculi are found within, the largest measures 1.9cm. My doctor said I need to undergo surgery , but I am thinking of seeking second opinion. Is there any alternative to break or dissolve these gallstones without going through surgical procedure? Thank you
