How risky is a gall bladder removal?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
If performed by: Experienced surgeon, risk is minimal. Assuming that you are going to have laparoscopic surgery, major complication is about 2% overall. That means 98% have no problems or minor problems if at all. Those are pretty good odds and not ask your surgeon whether he thinks out potential benefits outweigh the potential risks, he can tell you for sure.

Genly safe: Under most circumstances the removal of the gall bladder surgically is a safe procedure but, there are always risks to surgery.
