[Gallbladder polyps. 2d Consensus Workshop of the Chilean Hepatology Association]

During a workshop, hepatologists analyzed and gave recommendations about gallbladder polyps. They arrived to the following agreements: gallbladder polyps of less than 10 mm should be followed with ultrasonography at 3, 6 and 12 months if there is no enlargement. If there is enlargement, a cholecystectomy should be performed. Polyps larger than 10 mm should be subjected to cholecystectomy.
