Sequelae after cholecystectomy are generally relatively rare and will slowly disappear with recovery. The most common sequelae are bile reflux gastritis or esophagitis, biliary abdominal pain, post-cholecystectomy digestive disorders and so on.
1. Bile reflux gastritis or esophagitis: After cholecystectomy, bile loses its normal place of concentration and storage. Under normal circumstances, bile is excreted directly into the duodenum, or it can flow backward into the stomach, irritating the stomach and forming bile reflux gastritis.
2. Biliary abdominal pain: after cholecystectomy, the original synergy between the gallbladder and the sphincter of Oddi is destroyed, the sphincter shows spasm, bile can not be easily discharged, resulting in the dilatation of the common bile duct, the wall of the wall of the increased tension, and the pain in the right rib.
3. Digestive disorders after cholecystectomy: after cholecystectomy, bile cannot be discharged regularly, which reduces the concentration of bile acids and bile salts in the intestinal cavity. In addition, sphincter dysfunction, postoperative increase in biliary pressure, slow bile emptying, etc., all these factors can lead to postoperative bloating, diarrhea and other dyspeptic symptoms.
In addition to this, each patient’s situation is different and other sequelae may occur. Patients who experience discomfort after choledochotomy should go to the hospital for examination in time.
