Surgical tech here! …pig gallbladder transplants aren’t a thing. Not a normal thing at least - maybe some obscure experimental surgery tried it once, but nothing’s coming up on a quick web search. Pig skin can be used as a temporary graft over a burn or something; and we use other animal parts like cow veins for vascular grafts. But gallbladders, we just take em out and call it good. Sometimes we don’t take the whole thing, and leave a little pouch so that some function remains, but typically it’s yoinked out and that’s that.
No. At least, I don’t think so. They really could have put anything in there while I was out.
