Summary

This study compares two types of gallbladder removal surgery: robotic-assisted and traditional laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. About 276 adults with non-cancerous gallbladder problems will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The main goal is to see if robotic surgery is as safe as the standard approach by tracking complications within 30 days after the operation.
