What Permanent Solution Is Available Other Than Surgery For Removal Of Gallbladder Stones ?
wanted to discuss with someone regarding Gallstone problem. My husband is 45 years old. He has been diagonised with gallbladder stones (multiple). What are the options available for a permanent solution other than surgery as there have been instances where people have undergone gallbladder operation but the problem still persists.

Hello. welcome to HCM.
Treatment of already formed gall stones is nothing but surgery. You are taking note of instances where people are not treated by surgery but there are umpteenth number of cases where cholecystectomy (gall stone surgery) has healed people. Laproscopic or open surgery is a safe option.
Long standing gall stones may complicate issues by causing superimposed infection, perforation and even malignancy. So please be wise and judgemental for your benefit.
take care
