Evaluation of Effect of Cholecystectomy on Common Bile Duct Diameter using Ultrasonography and Liver Function Test: A Prospective Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Post cholecystectomy, dilatation of common bile duct has been a matter of controversy in the surgical and sonographic literature. Whether this dilatation is compensatory / physiological or related to any post cholecystectomy symptoms has been studied extensively in literature and have shown variable results. Hence; we assessed the diameter of CBD before cholecystectomy and after cholecystectomy and to look for any increase in size of the diameter of CBD. Material and Methods: In our study 100 cases of simple cholelithiasis with chronic cholecystitis were subjected to cholecystectomy. The diameter of the common bile duct was measured preoperatively and postoperatively at the same site at the postoperative interval of 10 days and 3 months. Results: Increase of the order of 3 or more than 3 mm in common bile duct diameter after 3 months of cholecystectomy, postoperative common bile duct diameter increased in 64% cases, decreased in 8% cases and remained same in 28% of cases. Conclusion: Significant compensatory dilatation does occur in common bile duct diameter after cholecystectomy.
