Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Having 5 to 7 stones in gall bladder measuring 4 mm to 7 mm in diameter can get troublesome. If it gets blocked in the neck of gall bladder or in common bile duct, it will cause jaundice and severe pain. If it is a single stone then patient can be observed by medications. For multiple stones as in you surgical treatment is best option. Gall stones cannot be removed by laser alone in my knowledge. Gall bladder removal is suggested.
Hope this helps
