Dr. Tracy Berg answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Ultrasound accurate: Your ultrasound is accurate. It does happen, the pathology exam does not include the gallstones. Sometimes stones are discarded/removed when the gallbladder is opened. Okay to ask your surgeon about this. The pathology exam is of the gallbladder wall, for diagnosis and to rule out cancer.
