How old are the gallstones that must be operated on?

Surgery is recommended for patients with gallstones more than 2 centimeters in diameter. Gallstones with a diameter of more than 2 centimeters have the risk of inducing cancer and producing gallbladder cancer, so surgical removal of the gallbladder is recommended. In addition to gallstones with diameter of more than 2 centimeters needing surgical treatment, surgical removal of gallbladder is also required for multiple gallbladder stones, which is due to the fact that gallbladder wall is stimulated by the stones for a long period of time, which is prone to inducing cancerous changes of the gallbladder and causing gallbladder cancer. In addition, the indications for cholecystectomy are as follows: Recurrent cholecystitis, gallbladder stones with a diameter of more than 2cm, combined with gallbladder polyps, porcelain gallbladder, gallbladder polyps with a diameter of more than 1cm, single polyp with a wide base, gallbladder atrophy, gallbladder-filled stones, polyps or stones located in the juxtapetal region of the gallbladder or at the duct of the gallbladder, gallbladder polyps that have rapidly grown in size in a short period of time, and cancer of the gallbladder can not be ruled out. If the above indications are met, please go to the regular hospital for timely treatment.
