AI EXPLANATION: Laparoscopic gallbladder removal with cholangiography is a minimally invasive surgery to take out the gallbladder.

During the procedure, a special contrast dye is injected into the bile ducts and X-rays are taken to check for gallstones or blockages before the gallbladder is detached and removed.
