In Nevada, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) runs about $12,060 on average. Most patients pay between $5,025 and $20,100, with the final price shaped by your choice of surgeon, facility type, and procedure complexity.

Will my health insurance pay for gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)?

How long is recovery after gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy)?

Most Nevada patients need 7 to 21 days to fully recover from gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy). Your surgeon will schedule follow-ups during this window to monitor healing.

Should I consider gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) outside Nevada?
