Agree with the 'cholecystectomy'

Gall bladder op
A cholecystectomy is surgery to remove your gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ under your liver. It is on the upper right side of your belly or abdomen. The gallbladder stores a digestive juice called bile which is made in the liver.

Cholelithiasis or gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in your gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ located just beneath the liver. The gallbladder holds a digestive fluid known as bile that is released into your small intestine.

Now days often done laparascopically or with Lithotripsy
Lithotripsy is a procedure that uses shock waves to break up stones in the kidney and parts of the ureter (tube that carries urine from your kidneys to your bladder).

Surgeons usually like to be able to operate electively for these sorts of procedures as having to operate when the inflammtion is occurring can be very tough on the patient, as here where they went into shock.
