A member asked:
They found a small amount of sludge in my gallbladder on an us and i had some pain but they said my hida scan was 40%. will they perform surgery still?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Sludge in of itself is not an indication for cholecystectomy. But of you are having biliary colic with sludge then that is a distinct option to be addressed by you and your surgeon.
