You have either key hole surgery which you recover from in two weeks or if there are complications during surgery the doctors may have to revert to open surgery which takes a lot longer to recover from. Sometimes people who are rushed in with emergency gallbladder problems have to have open surgery. So I advise anyone with stabbing chest pain that occurs after eating a lot of fatty food or alcohol to get it checked out. As its much easier to have key hole surgery.

this operation is done for the treatment of cyst by Deroofing the cyst or creating a surgical window in the wall of cyst.
If the surgery goes well and the surgeon has only the gallbladder to attend to, then the only thing that may need to be done to a person's "private parts" would be to have a catheter inserted.
There is no artificial gallbladder that can act as a replacement for the human gallbladder.
