Question 4

sphincter of ode after gall bladder surgery?

Accepted Answer

Please Clarify: The sphincter of oddi is a normal anatomic structure at the point where the bile duct enters the intestine (see duodenal papilla on pic above). Dysfunction of the sphincter, though very rare, can simulate gallbladder-type pain & is a possible explanation for ongoing pain despite gb removal. This can be diagnosed by endoscopic testing & treated by cutting the sphincter.

Accepted Answer

Not normaL: What do you mean bile leaking?
If it is leaking out of your incision definitely not normal check with your surgeon right away
if you were told that you have a collection of bile in the area of surgery by your surgeon that mean he is keeping the eye on it usually it will stop or it could be drained without surgery

Question 10

what are complications you can have after gall bladder surgery?

Accepted Answer

Very low risk: Gallbladder removal is one of the most common operations performed in the us and is, thankfully, very safe.  Like all abdominal operations, there are risks of bleeding, infection, blood clots, pneumonia, etc.  This is somewhat dependent on the health of the patient, but generally less than 1%.  A bile leak may occur less than 1% of the time after surgery;  this can often be managed non surgically.
