What is the treatment for multiple gallbladder polyps?

Gallbladder polyp is a common finding on abdominal imaging such as ultrasonography. Most of these polyps are not cancerous and only a small proportion of these polyps will progress to cancer. Unfortunately, it is rarely curable and prognosis is poor with less than 5% of patients with confirmed gallbladder cancer surviving more than 5 years [1]. Thus it is important to decide which gallbladder polyps should be treated. The most accepted guideline now is for gallbladder polyps that are more than 10mm to be removed.
