What Are Gallbladder Stones?
9. Prognosis
For many people with gallstones, the prognosis is very good. If you require surgery to remove stones in your gallbladder or to remove the gallbladder itself, your outlook is most likely positive. In most cases when stones are surgically removed, they don’t return.
If your stones are not surgically removed, your gallstones may return in the future. The good news is that in many cases, gallbladder stones are small enough to pass on their own without intervention. If you adopt lifestyle changes to reduce your likelihood of developing future gallstones, your prognosis is most likely good.
