What are the sequelae of cholecystectomy



Gallbladder polyps, gallbladder stones combined with acute attack of cholecystitis may require removal of the gallbladder. After removal of the gallbladder, dyspepsia, reflux gastritis, choledocholithiasis and other sequelae may occur.

1. Dyspepsia: Under normal circumstances, bile is secreted by the liver and concentrated at the gallbladder. After gallbladder removal, bile is still secreted but at a lower concentration, which may affect food digestion and patients may suffer from bloating and diarrhea.

2. Reflux gastritis: after gallbladder removal, bile will accumulate in the duodenum, and when more bile accumulates, it may cause bile reflux, which leads to bile reflux gastritis.

3. Choledochal stone: after cholecystectomy, the choledochal duct will have compensatory dilatation, and bile retained in the choledochal duct for a long time may induce choledochal stone.

After cholecystectomy, you need to rest more, strictly monitor the development of the disease, and consult a doctor when there is any discomfort, and go to the hospital for follow-up on a regular basis.
