[|Human|] Hi, if there is multiple gall stones and a possibility of mass in gallbladder, is always necessary to have an operation to remove the gallbladder? When I will know if that mass is not or is bad (meaning can be cancer?) Also a fatty liver, can be serious ? Thank you for your help in this questions. Sincerely grateful, Maria
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Chat Doctor. The only definitive treatment for multiple gallstones is surgery. If it is not causing any symptoms you can leave it as such. But if it causes cholecystitis, then it has to be removed. It can be removed laparoscopically. A histopathological exam would say whether the possible mass is malignant or not. Simple fatty liver is harmless. But over a period of years/decades it can cause serious issues. Fatty liver is reversible if the precipitating factor is treated. Some causes are alcohol intake, obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol. I hope that answers your question.
