Since its introduction in the late 1980s, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the treatment of choice for symptomatic gallstone disease. Today more than 75% of cholecystectomies are performed laparoscopically. By choosing laparoscopic cholecystectomy vs. open cholecystectomy , the patient can achieve a better cosmetic result with less scarring, a faster recovery with return to normal activity and a shorter hospital stay. Regretfully, there are a variety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy complications.

  • Went out for pizza after I had my gallbladder removed. Hellz yeah.

  • very nice vdo

  • soo.. is the gallbladder sandwiched between the liver and stomach? like the computer model in in the first few seconds?

  • @isabelle2436 That's a bit unlikely, the cause for left side pain may be something else than a dysfunctional gallbladder, if you're talking about the same region where the gallbaldder is positioned.
