Multiple gallbladder polyps are generally treated with either laparoscopic surgery or open abdominal surgery. Surgical intervention is usually required for multiple gallbladder polyps, and patients may choose between laparoscopic or open surgery. Laparoscopic surgery reduces intraoperative trauma and offers high therapeutic efficacy. Open surgery also provides good treatment outcomes, but involves greater trauma and a longer recovery period. After surgery, patients require appropriate medication to prevent postoperative infection and promote recovery. Additionally, regular follow-up examinations are necessary to monitor for recurrence of gallbladder polyps.
