About this procedure
A laparoscopic cholecystectomy — gallbladder removal through 3-4 small incisions. The standard surgery for gallstones causing pain.
What to expect
Outpatient or one-night hospital stay. 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. Recovery: 1-2 weeks back to desk work, 4-6 weeks for heavy lifting. ASCs (ambulatory surgery centers) are typically 30-50% cheaper than hospitals for elective gallbladder removal.
