Hi,

I have gone through your query.
I assume that you have some symptoms that is why CT scan was done. Stone is found in gall bladder with wall thickening. If you don't have fever or any other unfavorable conditions for surgery then i advise you to go for cholecystectomy followed by biopsy of GB.
Yes, it can be done through laproscopy and choice of type will be decided by treating doctor.
