A member asked:
Is gallbladder surgery pretty safe ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extremely safe: When done in an open procedure one must identify and divide the cystic artery and not mistake the hepatic artery for the former. The cystic duct is then tied at the common duct and GB removed Normally a laparoscopic procedure is used. With marked inflammation the GB procedure should be done open.
