Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The most recently developed operative procedure, which is now the most common treatment for cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, is done by way of endoscopy. It is called laparoscopic cholecystectomy and uses laser cautery to remove the gallbladder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The buildup of ammonia can be prevented with the use of lactulose (Chronulac) and neomycin. Ammonia is produced in the gut by bacterial action. By reducing the bacteria, less ammonia is produced.
