Persistent Post-Cholecystectomy Syndrome Secondary to Cystic Duct Stump Calculus - A Case Report
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Cholecystectomy is the preferred surgical treatment for cholelithiasis. However occasionally, patients continue to have symptoms even after cholecystectomy. This is now a well-defined clinical entity that is labelled as 'postcholecystectomy syndrome' (PCS). We report the case of a 42 year old female who underwent open cholecystectomy 17 years ago, and presented to us with dyspepsia and upper abdominal discomfort, especially after meals (her symptoms started within six months of cholecystectomy). Investigations revealed a calculus within a dilated cystic duct stump for which she underwent surgery and excision. The patient remains well, nearly 6 month after her operation.
