Abstract:
Thirty four patients with gall bladder disease and normal common duct were investigated prospectively by ultrasonography just before cholecystectomy and at periodic intervals of 1 months, 2 months, 3 months and once in 4-6 months after cholecystectomy. The pre and post cholecystectomy common duct diameters were measured at each visit and compared with each other to determine the statistical significance. No significant change (p > 0.05) occurred in common duct diameter following cholecystectomy.
