If you get a laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, which what you will get in 90%-95% of cases, the risk of her is very, very low.

The surgeon may have to convert the laparoscopic to open surgery if there is difficulty in safely proceeding with laparoscopic approach in case of severe inflammation or scar tissue, for example.
