does anyone know the length of time LAP vs OPEN

does anyone know the length of time it takes ( if all goes well and no complications) for open vs lap for the surgery and the length of hospital stay. I have been thinking a lot about the open procedure because I feel the surgeon can really have a "hands on" type of thing going on. a friend of mine had lap and had a bad leak, I know this is a risk for both surgeries, but it just seems like it would be better if the surgeon can lift things up in there and look to see if all is attached and stapled right. any experience or advise is appreciated
