How long is the wait for a gallbladder removal at Bristol Royal Infirmary?
Bristol NHS Foundation Trust publishes a general surgery waiting time, but from too few completed pathways for us to treat it as reliable.
Before treatment: the scan wait too
An ultrasound scan is a separate NHS queue from the treatment wait above, and it comes first. At Bristol NHS Foundation Trust the typical ultrasound wait is 3 weeks, with 12% waiting over six weeks (June 2026).
