A member asked:
What does it mean to have the gallbladder removed laproscopic? under what circumstance would i have to have full surgery? i have been cut on rite side
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimally invasive: The laparoscopy and cholecystectomy are quite common. Several small openings are made to introduce the camera and surgical tools. If the prior surgery on the right side entered the abdomen, there may be adhesions that limit access to the gallbladder. Open cholecystectomy is a well established procedure, and can be done with much smaller incisions than historically.
