A patient of 37 year old, known case of diabetes since 3 years but under control complained of occasional discomfort in right side abdomen. Ultrasonography showed fatty liver grade II and single gall stone of 8 mm. Blood test particularly Liver function test and serum amylase are in normal range.
Can the patient delay removal of gall bladder and try gall stone dissolving drugs such as Ursodiol for single stone? Can alternative therapies such Homeopathy and Ayurveda has shown benefit? What are the benefits of removal of gall bladder versus surgical risk and post-operative quality of life for young patient?
