Gallbladder removal: what to expect at Spire Sussex
To start with you’ll need to undergo an initial consultation. Your consultant will use this time to discuss your medical history and determine the best route forward for your procedure.
You’ll require either keyhole surgery or open surgery, both are straightforward and your consultant will have vast experience with each.
On the day, the team will escort you to your private room and administer the general anaesthetic once things are ready. They’ll then operate for no more than a few hours, after which our nurses will be on hand to provide you with excellent aftercare.
