How can you get rid of ur gallbladder stones?

Treat gallstones: Laparoscopic (& rarely open) cholecystectomy is a common, safe (0.1% mortality rate, complication 2%), & effective treatment that also permits common duct exploration. Dissolution therapy for pure, noncalcified stones is slow, prolonged, & may require lifetime treatment. Shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous cholecystolitotomy, direct instillation of solvent into gallbladder are rarely used today.
