Summary

Pancreaticobiliary reflux has been found in patients with cholelithiasis and gallbladder cancer associated with normal pancreaticobiliary union. However, the presence of pancreaticobiliary reflux has not been studied in patients without gallstones (healthy gallbladders).

The authors believe that pancreaticobiliary reflux might be a normal phenomenon in patients with and without gallstones, although in patients with cholelithiasis it might constitute a pathological condition associated with dismotility of the biliary tree and the sphincter of Oddi.

Conditions

  • Pancreaticobiliary Reflux

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Gallbladder bile sampling and intraoperative cholangiography

Interventions were exactly similar for both groups, and that is how it was intended to be: Gallbladder bile sampling: Sample 5 cc of gallbladder bile after the cystic duct has been clipped or ligated. Intraoperative cholangiography: Perform cholangiography before the cholecystectomy is finished
