Welcome at Chat Doctor... I. Have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.... In a laparoscopic cholecystectomy there is always a chance of transferring into open one due to variety of factors. Your surgeon will best decide about it.  As far as success is concerned results are same, but the recovery period is a bit longer in open surgery... There are no other disadvantages if surgery is performed adequately... Hope your query is adequately ad Chat Doctor.
