Hi!
thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.com.Surgery is not for all cases -only for large stone,symptomatic patients,bile duct block etc..If you are not symptomatic you can opt for medical dissolution of stone by drugs-details you can ask your physician-check ultrasound should be done after the course to see if the stone has disintegrated-next is Shock lithitripsy wherein ultrasonic waves are given to fragment the stone.Take care.
