Typically a general anesthetic with an oral endotracheal breathing tube is used for cholecystectomies.
General anesthesia.
Usually general anesthesia with intubation of the airway is required for gall bladder surgery. Control of ventilation is required, especially when laparoscopic surgery is planned.
