Status post cholecystectomy: gastroenterologist's perspective

Abstract

Cholecystectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures done in Russia and worldwide. Complaints of pain and dyspepsia occur at least in half of patients who underwent the surgery. Postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) is a polyetiological syndrome with functional or organic causes. About half of pain and dyspepsia after cholecystectomy are associated with organic disease (distal common bile duct stricture, pancreatic and gastric cancer, acute pancreatitis, etc). Other cases are explained by functional causes, including sphincter of Oddi dysfunction and functional disorders of intestinal motility.
