ABSTRACT
Potentialities were studied of echography in the exploration of characteristics of the biliary system in those patients (n = 168) in the remote period following cholecystectomy who suffered from postcholecystectomy syndrome (PChES). More than one-third of the PChES patient population demonstrated different changes in the biliary tract, such as concrements, aerobilia, inflammatory process, etc. Pancreatic pathology was recorded in 28.57 percent, hepatic abnormalities--in 32.7 percent of PChES cases. Echography was proved to be a method of high informative value in a comprehensive evaluation of the condition of the biliary system and adjacent organs in postcholecystectomy patients.
