Any gallbladder polyp that is felt to be symptomatic should be removed. In patients at risk for malignancy, a polyp of 6 mm or greater should likely be resected.

Do polyps in gallbladder need to be removed?

Most gallbladder polyps are noncancerous, but they still require regular monitoring. Surgery is necessary if polyps cause symptoms or are larger than 1 cm. Doctors also recommend surgery when a polyp has grown by 2 mm or more since the last checkup.

Can gallbladder polyp disappear?

“Gallbladder polyps don't disappear on their own and there are no medicines which can make them go away” answers Dr Amarchand.
