Procedure/recovery: For a healthy patient with uncomplicated biliary disease, the laprascopic procedure can take 30 to 90 minutes, home the same day, 4 to 6 hours in the facility, and 5 to 10 days of recovery. Of course, your surgery consult will detail all these questions as well as the risk/benefit analysis.
