Lap Chole: If you have pain in your upper right corner of your belly and have gallstones then you would need surgery. It is done laparoscopically and is commonly known as lap chole or laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It is an in and out operation that you have at the hospital or a surgery center. Some less skilled surgeons still do it open occasionally.
