RESUMEN
Objective To explore diagnosis, treatment and prevention of remnant gallbladder from laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 12 patients treated in our hospital for remnant gallbladder caused by LC from December 1994 to December 2007. Results The occurrent rate of the remnant gallbladder in LC was 0.46%(12/2609). All the 12 patients with remnant gallbladder received surgical operations and 3 of them had remnant gallbladder with stones. Remnant gallbladders in the 12 cases were removed by surgical operations and were cured. Conclusion Ultrosonic or MRI examination is preferable and surgery is the effective treatment for this disease. For avoiding the occurrence of the remnant gallbladder in LC,it is essential to adhere to indications of LC before operation and standards of the surgical procedures.
