The procedure uses a scope and a couple of tiny incisions and they push some tubes in and sort of lasso the gallbladder, and pull it out, encased in a little plastic sac, through the tubes.  You just stay for like a 23 hour observation period and if there are no complications, you are discharged.  A lot of laprascopic surgeries are done and that's one of them.   S.
