[The postcholecystectomy syndrome and its prevention]

61 patients had a surgery because of postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS). In 29 patients PCS was caused by bile tract diseases, in 15 patients--liver and pancreas diseases, in 12 cases disease of other organs. There was no mortality in restorative operations. The mortality rate in reconstructive operations was 5%. The full clinical and instrumental examination of extrahepatic bile ducts is the best way to prevent PCS. PCS was most frequently observed in patients, operated on urgently. The results of 79 cases of reconstructive and restorative operations in patients operated on urgently are analysed.
