Recruiting
- Conditions
- In some patients,there isn't any symptomatic relief after cholecystectomy due to the overlap of the symptoms of biliary and gastroduodenal pathologies. This condition is also known as postcholecystectomy syndrome. The usual reason for the lack of relief after cholecystectomy is the incorrect diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis. The one and only characteristic symptom of chronic cholecystitis is biliary colic. The reasons for the syndrome are gastroduodenitis, inadequate stone extraction, biliary stasis, inflammation and strictures.
