operation at this age is not an ideal choice.. she may continue the desired medical treatment.

If she has symptoms then go ahead for the surgery. Preferably laparoscopic one would be the best. But your mother needs medical review before saying whether is she fit for it or not. Please feel free to contact me if you need further help. Thank you. Hope this helps

dear patient.
if stones are asymptomatic then don't go for surgery.
if u select surgery, laptoscopy is the option.
if your mother functional status is very good like 70 years old women , then u can go for surgery.
but in All case she needs medical fitness . need to be evaluated.
