I had abdominal pain and ultrasound shoved I have gallbladder polyps. My doctor suggested I wait and we see what happens. Is that really the ultimate solution?
If you already feel pain, then your body is trying to tell you that it is time to remove it. This is something that doctors usually perform - gallbladder polyps removal. Sure, it is not the ultimate solution to sit and wait, but if the polyp is not that big, then that is ok. In that case, they leave it and they observe it. There is no reason for you to be that scared. If you want to remove it, you should tell this to your doctor, just to be safe. Or seek another doctor opinion. Maybe the other doctor will tell you that you should wait.
No, that is certainly not the ultimate solution. Usually gallbladder polyps cause no pain, so when they do cause it, this is a sign of removing it. Gallbladder polyps are removed with minimally-invasive, laparoscopic surgery. Surgeon grasps the gall bladder from one instrument and then with another he frees its duct and artery. These are then clipped or tied off. The gall bladder is removed from the liver bed. After ensuring that there is no bleeding or injury, the gall bladder (including the stones) is removed with one of the cannulas. You should be able to go home in 12-24 hours after surgery, of course if you decide for surgery.
