Summary

Publications with different conclusions are available with regard to the correlations between the cholecystolithiasis, cholecystectomy and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this study, the controversial relationship between cholecystolithiasis, cholecystectomy and GERD is discussed through the impedance pH method which started to be used in recent years, a method indicating the gas and liquid (acid and non-acid) gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and esophageal clearance time.

Conditions

  • Cholecystolithiasis
  • Cholecystectomy
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux

Interventions

PROCEDURE

impedance pH measurement

Impedance pH measurement: Impedance-pH is a recently developed technique used to monitor all kinds of reflux (gas, liquid, acides and non-acides), reflux level and the clearance period of the esophagus.
