Hello. Medical therapy is almost obsolete. Its used for inoperable cases as gall stone disease is a disease of gall baldder. So gall bladder needs to be removed to prevent complications and recurrance. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard. Medical treatment is to be taken atleast for one to two years that too with lots of complications and high failure rates. Hope your query is answered. Feel free to get back. Regards.
