Hello,
With the question “Should gallbladder polyps be operated on? ", the doctor answered as follows:
Depending on the size of the polyp, if the polyp is >1cm, there is usually an indication for cholecystectomy. You need an MRI of your abdomen to get a better assessment of the polyps. Besides, you should eat and drink normally, usually gallbladder polyps are followed for 6-12 months.
If you still have questions about whether gallbladder polyps should be operated on? You can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
