Gallbladder removal: what to expect at Spire London East Hospital
Depending on your health and circumstances, you’ll need either keyhole or open surgery. Both are straightforward procedures, however open surgery requires a hospital stay of a few days. But you can rest assured you’ll be well looked after either way.
On the day of your operation, you’ll arrive at the hospital and the team will show you to your private room. You’ll be given general anaesthetic when everything’s ready, and can expect the procedure to take a few hours at most.
