Why do children have to stay over night in the hospital for laparoscopic gall bladder removal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Surgeon's Preference: I do not routinely admit patients after this operation unless it was done on an emergent basis, the operation was more complicated than expected, or the patient required closer supervision. However, this practice does vary from surgeon-to-surgeon.
