AIM: to analyze the consequences of cholecystectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 348 patients were under observation within 10 years after cholecystectomy. Surgery for destructive and chronic cholecystitis was performed in 115 and 233 patients respectively. The consequences of cholecystectomy were assessed using bile acids level in blood plasma, stomach and duodenal pressure, pancreatic and stomach changes. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: It was established that lithocholic, deoxycholic, taurodeoxycholic acids were increased by 44% within 10 years after surgery. At the same time glycocholic and tauroursodeoxycholic acids were decreased by 21.5% in 5 years after surgery. Bile acids level changes were associated with changes of stomach and duodenal pressure. The most pronounced disorders were observed in distal duodenum. There was more than 2.8-fold excess of normal pressure in this area. Duodenal hypertension was accompanied by pancreatic ducts enlargement in 9.5% of cases and increased echogenicity in 93% of cases. CONCLUSION: Changes of the level and proportion of blood plasma bile acids and hypertension in upper gastrointestinal tract are the most important in chronic pancreatitis pathogenesis after cholecystectomy. Such conditions occur within first 3 years after surgery.

Treatment results of 1048 elderly patients, operated on the cholelithiasis, were analyzed. The group of minilaparotomic access cholecystectomy numbered 488 (46,6%) patients; the second group consisted of 560 (53,4%) patients, who had the traditional operation. All patients were operated on in a single hospital during 1998-2008 yy. The cholecystectomy from minilaparotomic access proved to be less traumatic and preferable for elderly patients. The rate of postoperative morbidity was 5,7%, mortality - 0,2%. The procedure, though, is subjected to the experienced surgeons.

Endoscopical and histological features of oesophagogastroduodenal zone, parameters of pH-metry and electrogastroenterography, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of microbiocenosis were studied in 80 female persons with postcholecystectomy syndrome more then a year after cholecystectomy. In the presence of duodenogastral reflux the most natural is the combination of distal oesophagitis, antral atrophic gastritis and duodenitis, accompanied with low level of gastric acidity, gastric hypokinesis and duodenal dyskinesis, dysbacteriosis of mucosal microflora with its quantitative increase and appearance of bacteria with expressed pathogenicity non-typical for this biotope. These data should be taken into consideration for determination of pre- and postoperative treatment tactics for patients with gallstones.

The authors summarize and systematize literature data and their own observations concerning post-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCES), the reasons for and the mechanisms of its development, its clinical variants etc. The authors suggest the following PCES forms should be distinguished: functional ("egenuine") forms, which develop due to gall bladder removal and the loss of its functions, and organic ("conditional") PCES forms, which develop as a consequence ofaflawy surgery and/or preoperative complications of chronic calculous cholecystitis, which dominate in the postoperative clinical picture and are mistakenly considered cholecystectomy consequences. An original operational classification of PCES is adduced; possibilities provided by contemporary instrumental and laboratory techniques of differential diagnostics are considered; differential treatment and prophylaxis of PCES are described.

OBJECTIVE: to diagnose and estimate the clinical value of postcholecystectomy sphincter of Oddi dysfunction in patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Examinations were made in 100 postcholecystectomy patients without signs of cholestasis; of them 14 postpapillotomy patients formed a comparison group. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy using the radiotracer 99mTC-bromeside was performed for 90 minutes with cholagogue breakfast at 45 minutes. Common bile duct and duodenal functions and duodenogastric reflux (DGR) were evaluated comparing them with clinical, laboratory, and instrumental findings. RESULTS: Two patient groups were identified according to bile outflow changes. In Group I consisting of 20 (23.2%) patients, the time of maximum accumulation (Tmax) of the radiopharmaceutical in the projection of the choledochus coincided with that in the cholagogue test (46.0 1.8 min) and in Group 2 including 66 (76.8%) patients that was shorter than in the cholagogue test (32.9 +/- 6.8 min) (p<0.05). In Group 2, Tmax was similar to that in the comparison group (30.9 +/- 7.5 min; p > 0.05) and there was no significant difference in intestinal imaging time (18.6 +/- 6.0 min versus 17.6 +/- 0.8) either, which could be indicative of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. Diarrhea was observed in 73% of the patients with sphincter of Oddi dysfunction and in 86% of the patients in the comparison group versus 10% of the patients with normal bile passage (p<0.01). Statistical data processing showed a correlation of the indicators of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction with those of duodenal evacuator function (r = 0.57; p < 0.0005) and DGR (r = 0.74; p < 0.009). CONCLUSION: Postcholecystectomy sphincter of Oddi dysfunction assumes the greatest clinical value in patients with duodenal motor-evacuator dysfunction, which should be hepatobiliamy scintigraphic, kept in mind when choossphincter of Oddi dysfunction ing a treatment policy.

Biliary pain is commonly reported in household surveys with the presumed cause being gallstones. When gallstones are absent or other abnormalities as a potential cause of similar pain do not exist, a different approach is necessary. Although trans-abdominal ultrasound can detect stones down to 3-5 mm, the advent of endoscopic ultrasound provides an even better definition for microlithiasis of < 3 mm. Duodenal aspiration of bile can further detect cholesterol microlithiasis or bilirubin granules, another potential source of biliary-type pain and perhaps even pancreatitis. Only in this way can acalculous gallbladder disease be clearly defined. The percentage of cholecystokinin-stimulated gallbladder emptying has been reputed to be the most sensitive diagnostic test for 'biliary dyskinesia', but abnormality of gallbladder emptying can be due to a smooth muscle defect of the gallbladder itself or heightened tone in the sphincter of Oddi. The value of surgical intervention has not been clearly established. The advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, however, has increased the number of patients with acalculous biliary disease who undergo surgery. Surgery is best done using impaired gallbladder emptying as the criterion for operation with improved outcome. Often, following cholecystectomy, biliary pain does not resolve the so-called 'post cholecystectomy syndrome'. Absence of the gallbladder as a pressure reservoir leaves the sphincter of Oddi as the prime determinant of bile duct pressure. Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction also exists in patients with an intact biliary tract and may become evident following cholecystectomy. Biliary manometry has clarified who might benefit from sphincterotomy. Choledochoscintigraphy is a non-invasive preliminary test. Advent of visceral hypersensitivity and better definition of this entity has shown, that in some of these patients with type III sphincter of Oddi, dysfunction appears to reside in duodenal hyperalgesia. It is clear that improved criteria are required to perform gallbladder emptying and better techniques to detect visceral hypersensitivity. Nonetheless, functional biliary pain in the absence of gallstone disease is a definite entity and a challenge for clinicians.

Biliary-like pain alone, or associated with a transient increase in liver or pancreatic enzyme, may be the clinical manifestations of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. Since it is not always possible to dissociate functional conditions from subtle structural changes, the term sphincter of Oddi dysfunction is used to define motility abnormalities caused by 'sphincter of Oddi stenosis' and 'sphincter of Oddi dyskinesia'. Both sphincter of Oddi stenosis and sphincter of Oddi dyskinesia may account for obstruction to flow through the sphincter of Oddi and may thus induce retention of bile in the biliary tree and pancreatic juice in the pancreatic duct. Most of the clinical information concerning sphincter of Oddi dysfunction refers to post-cholecystectomy patients who have been arbitrarily classified according to clinical presentation, laboratory results and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography findings in: (a) biliary type I, (b) biliary type II, and (c) biliary type III. Prevalence of biliary-type of pain has been reported to vary from 1 to 1.5% in unselected postcholecystectomy people, to 14% in a selected group of patients complaining of postcholecystectomy symptoms. The frequency of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, as shown by manometry, differs in the different clinical subgroups: 65-95% in biliary group I, mainly due to sphincter of Oddi stenosis; 50-63% in biliary type II, and 12-28% in biliary type III. In patients with idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction varies from 39 to 90%. Diagnostic work-up of postcholecystectomy patients for suspected sphincter of Oddi dysfunction includes liver biochemistry and pancreatic enzymes, plus negative findings of structural abnormalities. Usually, this would include transabdominal ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Depending on the available resources, endoscopic ultrasound and magnetic resonance cholangiography may precede endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in specific clinical conditions. Quantitative evaluation of bile transit from the hepatic hilum to the duodenum at choledochoscintigraphy appears valuable in the decision to undertake sphincter of Oddi manometry or to treat. Sphincterotomy is the standard treatment for sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. In biliary type I patients, the indication for endoscopic sphincterotomy is straightforward without the need of any additional investigation. Slow bile transit in biliary type II is an indication to undergo endoscopic sphincterotomy without sphincter of Oddi manometry. Slow bile transit in biliary type III patients is an indication to perform sphincter of Oddi manometry. Diagnostic work-up of patients with gallbladder in situ is part of the same diagnostic algorithm that has initially excluded the presence of a gallbladder dysfunction.

Pathophysiology of the sphincter of Oddi--or sphincter of Oddi dysfunction--manifests as either a biliary-type pain syndrome or recurrent pancreatitis. Imaging studies are unreliable, and direct endoscopic manometry is used to diagnose this entity. Milwaukee biliary classification, in addition to manometry, helps guide therapy. Endoscopic sphincterotomy in selected patients achieves permanent relief of symptoms. Endoscopic therapy for recurrent pancreatitis is still experimental.

AIM: To study hepatic function after cholecystectomy and the role of absorptive-excretory function of the liver and hormonal factors in development of postcholecystectomy syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 106 patients long after cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis were examined for absorptive-excretory function of the liver and blood hormones (hydrocortisone, insulin, gastrin, thyroxine, triiodothyronine, thyrotropine). I-131-bengal-rose hepatography, dynamic hepatobiliscintigraphy with brommeside-Tc-99m, radioimmunoassay were employed. RESULTS: Impairment, often subclinical, of hepatic absorption and excretion after cholecystectomy was found in 94% of the patients. External function of the liver after cholecystectomy was disturbed depending on the condition of its absorptive-excretory function. Hepatic dysfunctions and changes in blood hormones correlated. CONCLUSION: Absorptive-excretory function and hormonal factors are essential in pathogenesis of postcholecystectomy syndrome.

96.7 percent of patients with affections of organs of the pancreatobiliary zone displayed motor function disorders of upper portions of the alimentary canal (AC). A characteristic sign of the pathological process in pancreatobiliary organs is decreased frequency of recordable biopotentials and qualitative changes in electrogastrogrames. Changes in qualitative characteristics of the electrogastrogram are clearly related to increase in the intraduodenal pressure recordable with the aid of the "open catheter" technique. Laseropuncture is an effective supplementary method for correction of motility disorders in the upper portions of AC in those patients presenting with affections of the pancreatobiliary organs.

The object of this study was to define the pattern of gastrointestinal myoelectrical activity before and after cholecystectomy. After surgery, on the first postoperative day, the mean and maximal activities of the gastrointestinal tracts decreased significantly, but there was no significant change in the pattern and the duration of the nonreactive period. A dyskinetic effect and/or weakness of electrical activity was observed in all patients before operation, and the same pattern persisted after operation for one month. This suggests the future onset of the so-called postcholecystectomy syndrome, which may result from the fundamental pathological effect of gallstones.
