The surgery for removal of the gall bladder is called cholecystectomy. There are 2 types:
1) Open surgery: During this procedure, your surgeon will make a 5- to 7-inch incision (cut) on your belly to take out your gallbladder
2) Laproscopic surgery: Your surgeon doesnât make a big opening in your belly. Instead, he makes four small cuts. He inserts a very thin, flexible tube that contains a light and a tiny video camera into your belly. These help your surgeon see your gallbladder better. Next, heâll insert special tools to remove the diseased organ.
Both procedures will be done under general anasthesia.
