Post-cholecystectomy syndrome: a retrospective study analysing the associated demographics, aetiology, and healthcare utilization

Abstract

In conclusion, there is a strong need to examine for and treat the underlying aetiology when approaching a post-cholecystectomy patient. We found that longer hospital stays, were associated with a greater health care burden, and visa versa. Furthermore, our findings help identify at-risk populations which can contribute to improving surveillance of this costly disease.
