Open/laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder, typically due to gallstones or inflammation. Open cholecystectomy involves a larger incision in the abdomen, while laparoscopic cholecystectomy uses smaller incisions and a camera for a minimally invasive approach. Laparoscopic surgery is preferred for quicker recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. Both methods effectively resolve gallbladder issues.
