Biliary dyskinesia, a gallbladder motility disorder, causes pain without gallstones. Diagnosis via gallbladder ejection fraction and treatment with cholecystectomy offers over 90% symptom relief.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatobiliary Medicine
  • Surgical Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Biliary dyskinesia encompasses gallbladder dyskinesia and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
  • Gallbladder dyskinesia presents as biliary pain without gallstones.
  • Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction includes biliary and pancreatic types, often post-cholecystectomy or causing pancreatitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic and treatment strategies for biliary dyskinesia.
  • To highlight the efficacy of cholecystectomy for gallbladder dyskinesia.
  • To describe the diagnostic approach and surgical outcomes for sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • Gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) measurement via radionuclide scan for gallbladder dyskinesia diagnosis.

  • Sphincter of Oddi manometry for diagnosing sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (biliary and pancreatic types).
  • Surgical intervention: cholecystectomy for gallbladder dyskinesia, sphincterotomy for sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.

    • Main Results:

    • An abnormal GBEF is defined as <40%.
    • Cholecystectomy provides symptom relief in >90% of patients with gallbladder dyskinesia.
    • Sphincterotomy offers long-term relief in >80% of patients with sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.

    Conclusions:

    • Biliary dyskinesia requires specific diagnostic tools like GBEF and manometry.
    • Surgical management, including cholecystectomy and sphincterotomy, is highly effective for biliary dyskinesia and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
    • Timely diagnosis and intervention lead to significant symptom resolution and improved patient outcomes.
