My Mother got a stone at a gallbladder and also suffering from diabetics & heart disease as well plz suggest?

Pain related to gallstones can produce the pain in the chest, back, and right upper abdomen. The treatment of symptomatic gallstones is removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy.) Cholecystectomy can be performed through and open incision or laprascopically. The recovery is quicker with laprascopic cholecystectomy. The procedure is generally tolerated well and it should resolve her symptoms. She should be evaluated for her risk of surgery since she has a history of diabetes and heart disease. Any general surgeon can perform a cholecystomy. If surgery cannot be performed then medications can be used or a tube cholecystomy tube can be placed to drain the gallbladder.
