Risks and recovery
Like any surgery, gallbladder surgery has risks: bleeding, infection, bile duct injury (uncommon) and conversion to open surgery. They are uncommon and are reduced with proper evaluation, careful technique and follow-up. The surgeon explains them during the consultation.
Recovery from gallbladder surgery is gradual: discharge is often the next day; light activities within 1 week; a gradual low-fat diet. Timelines vary from person to person and according to medical criteria.
