Surgery on the gallbladder is not an illness itself. The surgery is done on this organ BECAUSE of an illness. It may be done, most commonly, because the gallbladder has developed gall stones; but there are other reasons for this type of surgery. Today, this surgery can be done laparoscopically and as a result, the recovery is very short and usually uneventful. If it is done as an "open" procedure, hospitalization and recovery can be much longer.
