CLINICAL PROCESS OF CHANGES IN THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IN POST-CHOLECYSTECTOMY SYNDROME

Abstract

Post-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) represents a complex clinical condition affecting 10-40% of patients following gallbladder removal, characterized by persistent or recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms. This review examines the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying gastrointestinal tract alterations in PCS, including bile acid dysregulation, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, and intestinal microbiota disturbances. Understanding these clinical processes is essential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies and improving patient outcomes following cholecystectomy.
