A member asked:

Is it possible to have my large 2.8cm gallstone removed without taking gallbladder out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Well...: It is possible, and no reasonable physician would do it. See, the problem is not just having gallstones, but the gallbladder and bile allow the formation of these... so it is likely you would produce many more... The solution in a symptomatic patient is to remove the gallbladder. That is where the problem lies, and if it gets inflamed the surgery is urgent.
