If I was a doctor treating you, I d like to know the following: - what type of gall bladder problems specifically? Are they stones (cholelithiasis) or infection (cholecystitis)? Given that I haven t reviewed your cardiac & pulmonary history, I don t know if you re truly inoperable . Assuming you are, you can have a cholecystotomy tube placed (it s a tube that is inserted through the skin into the gall bladder to help drain out infected contents). It s the way to go for those with cholecystitis who are not good surgical candidates. An interventional radiologist will typically be inserting such a tube. Hope this helps.
