Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Miss B, I love your name. anyway. I had mine lap. One of the surgeons at our center was the surgeon who pioneered lapriscopic gallbladder so he was certainly gifted in the use of the lapriscopic tools. They both spent the recommended hours of training with the Dr.'s of Carnie . I personally was glad I could have it done lap as I would not have near the incision cutting through muscle and not near the scar tissue involvment.. However with that said...Several of the people in our support group have had open and it really is a personal choice. Some were to obese to have lap as an option. They usually get their gall bladder taken out which I think is a nice advantage with an open procedure. There are pros and cons with both. It needs to be your choice of whether you want a lap procedure bad enough to wait...or if open is all right with you than go for it. Good luck on your decision and what ever you choose will be the right one for you and that is what is important because we are all so different on this journey. The only perfect place is heaven!
