Surgical Procedures
Surgical removal of the Gallbladder
Surgical removal of the gallbladder, known as cholecystectomy, is one of the oldest and commonest operations performed. There are two basic methods of gallbladder removal, namely laparoscopic (keyhole) cholecystectomy and open cholecystectomy.
