After minimally invasive surgery for gallstones, you can usually be discharged from the hospital in 3-5 days. Because of the so-called minimally invasive surgery for gallstones, the vast majority of gallbladder stones in clinical practice are laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is a very minor operation for a skilled surgeon and can be completed in about half an hour. The laparoscopic cholecystectomy itself has fewer and smaller abdominal incisions, so the pain after surgery is very mild. After the surgery, the patient can get out of bed after the anesthesia is awake and can eat liquid and semi-liquid food or even low-fat soft food the day after the surgery, so the recovery is very fast. In 3-5 days after surgery, there is basically no significant difference from the preoperative period, and the patient can be discharged from the hospital. Therefore, the vast majority of gallstone surgeries are laparoscopic cholecystectomies, and the recovery after surgery is very fast, usually 3-5 days, and usually in about a week you can be discharged.
