[ ] Hi if there is no upper abdominal pain / post meal fullness / discomfort / upper back pain , then you don't require surgery. This is asymptomatic gall stone. In case you develop any of above symptoms then you require surgery. There is no any medicines in present world to dissolve gall bladder stone. Laparoscopic approach is gold standard for gall bladder removal. You can read my article on Practo- Gall bladder stone.Feel free to ask any further quary.

If you have symptoms due to gallstones, they are likely to recur and the re urrejc did usually more severe. Hence it is recommended that you undergo keyhole gallbladder removal surgery (lapaparoscopic cholecystectomy). There are no medicines to dissolve your gall stones.
