| Resumo: | Although it has been demonstrated that cholecystectomy is successful in relieving symptoms in 90% of cases, some patients continue to experience gastrointestinal symptoms despite surgical intervention; this is known as postcholecystectomy syndrome. For this reason, we decided to investigate this syndrome and, relying on the article by Desai et al entitled "Foreign bodies in common bile duct in postcholecystectomy state-series of 8 cases: an experience of a single center in western India," delve into the different symptoms that appear in the syndrome. Based on an extensive review of articles published about the syndrome, the most common symptoms are dyspepsia, pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, abdominal distension, and gastrointestinal issues. Consequently, it is critical to take these symptoms into consideration because, even though it may not seem like postcholecystectomy syndrome occurs frequently, one needs to be familiar with its clinical picture. |
