The surgeon who did my gall bladder promised me laproscopic surgery, but when I awakened I had a scar about 8 inches long and a 4 day stay at the hospital.
He described exactly what this story describes. Scar tissue and other issues made him open me up so he could do the job right. We had spoken of it before the operation so I wasnt all that surprised, I guess I had a better doctor than this fellow.
