Ultrasound Report Shows Mild Diffuse Wall Thickening Of Gallbladder, Tiny, Echogenic Focu Present With Reverberation Artifact. Explain

My sister's ultrasound report states the following for gall bladder.
"Normal size, shape and position, showing mild diffuse wall thickening. Multiple tiny echogenic non-mobile focu are present within its wall with comet tail reverberation artifact."
What are the possibilities of gall bladder stone and does this require removal by surgery? Please advice

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! You have not mentioned the reason for doing an ultrasound for your sister. Did she have any abdominal pain, or belching or any hyper-acidity. Immaterial of whether she had these symptoms, the ultrasound report could mean that she has got multiple stones, which could become impacted anywhere in the biliary tract and cause more problem. I would suggest you see a gastrointestinal surgeon/general surgeon, who may clinically examine your sister, and may also advise for a gall bladder removal surgery, which is done well by the minimally invasive surgery.
I wish your sister an early recovery.
