My grandmother aged 70 years was diagnosed with cholelithiasis. Doctor recommend surgery for gall bladder stones and we had to opt between general surgery and laparoscopy. We are afraid of laparoscopy as my sister was operated on laparoscopy for appendicitis 5 years back and the pain was normal even after surgery and after consulting various doctors for pain they said that laparoscopy should not be performed. We had to opt for it as it has quick recovery option then. Which is the best option. Waiting for your valuable suggestion. Thank you doctor.

Hello, you should go for laproscopy. As she is old. After laroscopy she will have less complication, a short duration of hospital stay and early recovery.
