[Postcholecystectomy syndromes]

The author analyzes postcholecystectomic complaints in 513 patients cholecystectomized in 1981-1985. He mentions the relationship between postcholecystectomic syndromes and preoperative complaints, the peroperative diagnosis and surgical operation. He recommends diagnostic investigations to elucidate the dyspepsia; the doctor must not be satisfied with the finding of cholecystolithiasis. The author also compares postcholecystectomic syndromes in patients with a biliodigestive anastomosis with papillosphincterotomy. The author analyzes in more detail the experience with treatment of nine patients, i.e. 1.75% patients with the finding of residual concrements.
