I recently had my gallbladder removed through laparoscopic surgery, which can be done without cutting the muscles of your abdomen. I received (2) 1 incisions and (2) 1/4 incisions. The recovery time is less than a week and the pain is minimal. Prior to the surgery the pain from the gallbladder attacks was horrible. The signs are classic, lower abdominal pain, usually right side running into the back and hurting into the shoulder blades.
