How painful is a gallbladder removal operation?!
Question: Since we've developed the ability to perform the surgery through a much smaller incision, it's a lot less uncomfortable - but you'll still need to be anesthetized for the surgery. The discomfort after the modern procedure is a lot less than when I scrubbed and then held the retractors to keep that huge hole in people's belly open. And the recovery time is shorter. But do NOT kid yourself - it's still major surgery and you're not gonna run a marathon the week after your operation.
