Medical Advice Towards Gallbladder Removal Operation
I am in need of a gallbladder removal, but the dates I have been given were all after i'm having a full hysterectomy and a resection of the bowel. Is it unsafe to do a laparascopic gallbladder procedure and then to have the other, longer procedures immediately afterwards on the same day?

Hello and thank you for asking HCM.
I have read your reports and i understand your concerns.
For my opinion,there is no problem doing all the 3 procedures at the same moment. Depending from the reason why you are doing the hysterectomy and resection of the bowel,doctors will decide with which organ to start first. Laparoscopic gallbladder removal takes around 30min to 45 minutes,depending from the skills of the surgeon,and if there is any inflammation of the walls of the gallbladder,or around it(probably you have stones in your gallbladder since you need to remove it).Than the surgeon might continue with the removal of uterus,and the resection of the bowel,or vice versa. So from the technical point,there are no problems to do all 3 surgeries at the same moment. Medically,i can't be sure since i don't have your medical reports,and I am not your personal surgeon. But you need to consult your surgeon that will do the bowel resection and ask him to do the gallbladder removal.
If you have any other question,feel free to ask me.
Wish you good health.
