I just got home and I had the "key hole" surgery.
Sure doesn't feel like a "key hole". Feels like a knife in my belly right now.
Good Luck and just prepare yourself to be down for a few days.

It shouldn't cause complications when you have surgery. (However, it can cause MAJOR complications if it stays in there.) They'll just clean the ducts out of any stones or sludge.
The surgery should be the same, probably laproscopic.
Good luck!
