Possibly: if this was an incidental finding then ou may want to speak to a general surgeon about it. However, if this was a finding after an episode of pain, you should definitely have the gallbladder removed completely as soon as possible . having small go stones or sludge may lead to Future problems so you should definitely seek medical advice. good luck

Gallbladder : The liver cyst doesn't cause any problem, so should be left alone. As far as the gallbladder stones, if you have symptoms such as pain, nausea, etc, it would be better to have it removed.
