Minimally invasive surgery is definitely better for gallstones. Minimally invasive surgery refers to laparoscopic cholecystectomy, where the patient has 3 puncture holes in the abdomen and the patient’s gallbladder is removed through the insertion of laparoscopic instruments as well as lenses. Open surgery refers to the traditional cholecystectomy, where the patient has an incision in the upper abdomen, and the length of the incision is about 10 cm, and the surgery also removes the gallbladder. However, unlike minimally invasive surgery, patients can get out of bed 6 hours after surgery or early in the morning of the second day, and the abdominal pain is significantly reduced. The discharge time is also different. Minimally invasive surgery can be discharged in 3-4 days, while open surgery can be discharged only after the wound heals in about 1 week.
