A member asked:
Is it dangerous to have surgery to remove my gallbladder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not if you don't: Have any other medical condition that might affect your anesthetic risk. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not a dangerous operation. If your doctor recommends it, it is because its potential benefits outweigh its potential risks. Go for it.
