Dear Zipporah The gold standard treatment for gall bladder stone is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy i.e. the removal of the gall bladder by minimal access surgery. The cost of this surgery would be US$ 2,000-2500/-. You may send all the blood and ultrasound reports for further advice. Thanks With Regards Dr. J S Chowhan |
