'''Hello I want to say we are all here because our family or you have biliary colic'''''Italic text''. It is unclear whether those experiencing a gallstone attack should receive surgical treatment or not.<ref name="SBU17" /> The scientific basis to assess whether surgery outperformed other treatment was insufficient and better studies were needed as of a SBU report in 2017.<ref name="SBU17" /> Treatment of biliary colic is dictated by the underlying cause.<ref name="auto">{{cite journal |vauthors= Sigmon S, Dayal N, Meseeha M |url=https://www.lecturio.com/concepts/forearm/| title=Biliary Colic|website=National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine. |year=2021|pmid=28613523|access-date= 8 July 2021}}</ref> The presence of gallstones, usually visualized by ultrasound, generally necessitates a surgical treatment ([[cholecystectomy|removal of the gall bladder]], typically via [[laparoscopy]]). <ref name="auto"/> Removal of the gallbladder with surgery, known as a [[cholecystectomy]], is the definitive surgical treatment for biliary colic. <ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.lecturio.com/concepts/cholecystectomy-approaches-and-technique/| title=Cholecystectomy: Approaches and Technique|website=The Lecturio Medical Concept Library |access-date= 8 July 2021}}</ref>
A 2013 Cochrane review found tentative evidence to suggest that early gallbladder removal may be better than delayed removal.<ref name=Guru2013>{{cite journal |last1=Gurusamy |first1=K.
