Yes, very safe: Cholecystectomy can be done open or laparoscopically (most common). The risks include: internal bleeding, injury to the bile ducts, injury to the small intestine by one of the instruments used during surgery and the general risks of anesthesia. The overall risks are very small, less than 1% in total. Go to: https://www.facs.org/~/media/files/education/patient%20ed/cholesys.ashx
