    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) presents as chronic upper abdominal pain, potentially with hepatic or pancreatic dysfunction.
    • Identifying the cause of persistent pain after gallbladder removal is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline diagnostic and surgical approaches for chronic postcholecystectomy syndrome.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical intervention for refractory PCS symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Definitive diagnosis involves endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to identify anatomical defects.
    • Transendoscopic papillary manometry is presented as a novel diagnostic tool.
    • Surgical management includes peritoneal cavity exploration, transduodenal examination of the papilla of Vater, and extended papilloplasty with sphincteroplasty and septum excision.

    Main Results:

    • Approximately 75% of patients experience long-term symptom relief following surgical intervention.
    • Surgical approach is reserved for cases with persistent symptoms unresponsive to prolonged medical therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Chronic postcholecystectomy syndrome requires a systematic diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
    • Extended papilloplasty is an effective surgical treatment for selected patients with PCS, offering significant long-term pain relief.
