Answer
Hello! Thank you for submitting your question to the doctor. Most gallbladder polyps are benign. Indications for surgery with gallbladder polyps when polyps are >= 10mm or with wide-legged polyps or >2mm polyps after 6 months. In your case, there is no indication for surgery. Your doctor will recommend an ultrasound to check for polyps and gallbladder every 6 months. Wishing you and your family healthy and happy !
