I had mine taken out last January, but the answer is not for the faint hearted. Most gallbladders can be removed through keyhole surgery, which means they make three small cuts on your stomach. One above the rib cage, one below the belly button, and one of the right side. They then push robotic arms and cameras into these three holes, and watch on a television. The gallbladder is then diced into small pieces and taken out by suction.
