Question 2

Accepted Answer

Yes, in a small: minority of cases, stones can form in the common duct, which connects the liver to duodenum.  If you are having symptoms, you should see a doctor for full exam and tests.  It could still be some other problem too.

Question 4

i had emergency laparoscopic gall bladder removal 6 days ago. my alt was 181, ast 127, ap 163, glucose 168, and lipase 9. 1mo. before, all were normal. they did not retest my blood. now i have uti & given cedifinir. afraid it will affect liver.

Accepted Answer

LFT's: I would not worry about that particular antibiotic in this setting, but I do think it is important at some point, when ever your surgeon deems most appropriate, to recheck the liver tests to be sure that they normalize. If they do, and if  your bile duct was normal in size, you should be fine. Good luck.

Question 5

about ten years ago,  my gall bladder was removed.   now my liver seems to feel swollen.  i have been diagnosed with fatty liver.   what can i  do?

Accepted Answer

Lose weight: If that is all that is going on, lose weight. However are you sure that is the extent of the problem? Have you seen a specialist GI with an interest in hepatology (will likely be a member of aasld) or a hepatologist?

Question 6

should i be having any pain inside the abdomen after laproscopic gall bladder removal a week ago?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, you've still had abdominal surgery.  But your pain should be improving.  Call your surgeon if you're not improving as expected, or if you're getting worse.

Question 7

cholecystectomy clips seen in right upper abdomen in lumber x ray taken 4 years after gall bladder removal. no symptoms. any problem?

Accepted Answer

No problem: When original approach t GB employed, syxtic and cystic artery were free tied.  Now with either open or laparoscopic procedure, clips are employed.  These are non reactive , usually titanium which cause no inflammation and rarely dislodge.  Even then there are no associated complications.  It is now considered normal to see vascular clips on a scan of an operative site.

Question 8

chronic lower back pain 3weeks after gall bladder removal as well as pain in lower back & abdomen when passing bowel motion?

Accepted Answer

Common problems: Back pain is common after abdominal surgery due to position on the operating table.  Problems with bowel movements are also common, due to pain meds and stress of surgical procedure and general anesthesia. These should all slowly get better within 6-12 weeks after the operation. There is of course high variability Amon individuals. Hope this helps!

Question 9

how risky is a gall bladder removal?

Accepted Answer

If performed by: Experienced surgeon, risk is minimal.  Assuming that you are going to have laparoscopic surgery, major complication is about 2% overall.  That means 98% have no problems or minor problems if at all.  Those are pretty good odds and not  ask your surgeon whether he thinks out potential benefits outweigh the potential risks, he can tell you for sure.
