A member asked:
My hida scan was at 97%. do you suggest gallbladder removal? i have had symptoms of pain for the last 5 months under the rib cage, duplicated by hida
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
