A member asked:

My mom just had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and i noticed her skin is more yellowish. should i be worried? i'll only see the doctor again tomorrow

Jaundice : You have to see the surgeon to exclude jaundice. Some times iatrogenic injury to bile duct and missed stone in common bile duct could cause post cholecystectomy jaundice.
