    Background:

    • Cholecystectomy is the most frequent abdominal surgery in adults.
    • Approximately 500,000 biliary tract operations are performed annually in the US.
    • Gallstones and related biliary disorders are primary indications for surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive review of post-cholecystectomy complications.
    • To detail the clinical and radiological features of these complications.
    • To highlight the role of imaging in diagnosis and management.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of clinical and radiological findings.
    • Analysis of common and rare complications.
    • Focus on imaging modalities used in diagnosis.
