A member asked:
When getting your gallbladder removed can the surgeon in some cases take a look at the liver while they are at it?

Usually do: Most surgeons will see at least some of the liver and comment on anything they see in the operative report, but this is by no means a thorough evaluation of the liver or intended to be.

Ans: Well depends. Usually laparoscopic procedures will focus on the gallbladder and the common bile duct. Unless there is a reason the focus will stay on the gallbladder
