My sister is 16 years old. Few days ago she had severe stomach pain then she went in emergency and then they performed ultrasound on her, the ultra sound result showed that she has cholecystitis and operation is the only way. She will either undergo laparoscopy or open surgery. Is it right to do surgery at her age.
