Chloycystectomy: You shouldn't worry about that. the surgeon will give you Antibiotics anyway before and after the surgery. The Rod in ur leg is not an indication for Antibiotics before procedure.

Yes: Most surgeons use prophylactic antibiotics during cholecystectomy, but it is always good idea to tell your surgeon everything about your medical history.
