Hi thanks for asking question
Noted you have done cholecystectomy...
You might have gall stones or chronic infected gall bladder....So it is removed...
Gall bladder connected to liver by bile canaliculi ....
So infection from gall bladder can spread to liver canaliculies........
Keep drain open and intravenous antibiotic needed...
When drain fluid free from infection drain removed....
Take low fat and more fruit diet....
Regular follow up necessary....
