Having a scar after gallbladder removal depends on how you have it removed, There are several different ways. 1, to remove the gallbladder in an "open" manner. They make and inciscion on the lower right quadrant, its usually a few inches long. In the old days they would cut you from under your ribs to the top of your navel. 2, The most common way these days is "Laprascopic" (Less scaring) The put in two to three portals in the torso area and remove the gallbladder with long skinny instruments, and a camera. The scars are about an inch wide. 3,There are new techniques, which i have not seen, only heard of studies, where the gallbladder can be removed through natural orifices (the vagina) for females of course.
