| Summary: | Cholecystectomy is considered the gold standard treatment for symptomatic
gallstones disease especially with the advent of laparoscopic approach, which is
known to have well documented advantages. Nevertheless, 6% to 39% of the patients
continue to have either persistent symptoms or emergence of new symptoms
suggestive of gallstone disease after the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. All the
previous studies were looking at the postcholecystectomy symptoms or syndrome one
year after the surgery. Furthermore, there is no local data regarding the
postcholecystectomy syndrome as yet. |
