What are the postoperative complications after cholecystectomy?

Possible complications after cholecystectomy include: 1. Biliary tract infection: After gallbladder removal, bile reflux may occur in the biliary tract, increasing the risk of biliary tract infections. 2. Bile reflux gastritis: Bile sometimes enters the intestines and may reflux into the stomach when fasting, damaging the gastric mucosa and causing bile reflux gastritis. Symptoms include heartburn, stomach pain, vomiting, and others. 3. Digestive problems: After gallbladder removal, patients may experience digestive dysfunction such as bloating, postprandial fullness, abdominal discomfort, chronic diarrhea, and food intolerance. 4. Biliary colic: Some patients may experience pain similar to biliary colic after surgery due to issues within the bile duct or biliary system. Management and prevention of these complications should be tailored to individual circumstances, avoiding unhealthy dietary habits and excessive physical activity to reduce or prevent the occurrence of these complications.
