Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Surgeon: The hida scan only looks for obstruction. You can still have a diseased or dysfunctional gall bladder due to stones, sludge or chronic inflammation. A skilled abdominal surgeon will advise you best taking into account your history of symptoms and findings after testing and examining you.
