Cholecystectomy syndrome

Cholecystomycomic syndrome

Cholecystemic syndrome is a phenomenon that occurs in some patients after removal of the gallbladder. Translated from Latin, the word “cholecystomic” means “associated with the gallbladder.”

Cholecystectomy - surgical removal of the gallbladder - is often performed to treat various diseases of this organ, for example: cholelithiasis (gallstones), choledocholithiosis (stony obstruction in the common hepatic duct) or chronic cholecystitis. It can be performed with a confirmed diagnosis of cholelithiasis, biliary tract pathologies and other gastrointestinal diseases. This operation can be performed using the traditional surgical method, laparoscopy or robot-assisted method.

Although removal of the gallbladder is one of the most common operations in medicine, in practice a condition associated with this intervention is often observed

Cholecystectomy syndrome (cholecystoectoma) syndrome is a rare disease manifested by inflammation (most often cholecystitis) and necrosis (rotting) of one of the processes of the gallbladder - the bile duct/nephrosome. The pathology is diagnosed quite rarely in Russia, and its chronic nature brings serious pain to patients and adds several years to their overall age. On the one hand, the treatment is classic—removal of the gallbladder—but the case is not very pleasant, so surgeons do not abuse this method; it is rather a matter of necessity rather than will in life. If a person does not have stones in the bile ducts, due to pain, he will be asked to come back in 2-3 months, and will also be offered treatment with spasms, medications for nausea, pills, etc.

The term was coined by Just in 1835 to describe cholecystitis, which became associated with cholecystectomy due to the "external appearance" after the operation. It was then that it was noticed that patients lost color brightness and suffered from damage to nerve endings
