Gall bladder removal is now being done with laproscopic techniques. One of my designers just had this done, and was back to work a few days later. The less invasive procedure has a much shorter recovery time.
You are not kidding about laproscopy! So...I go to see the surgeon for post-op visit and he tells me “yours is the last operation I did the old fashion way..now on it will be laproscopic”! I muttered something like thanks a lot. It was a 3 week recovery from the painful abdominal incisions!
But even with laproscopy, it is still a serious operation because gall bladder is adjacent to very vital organs such as the pancreas and liver.
