[So-called cystic stump syndrome]. 1979

C Guerrera, and P Rigobello, and D De Anna, and F Buccoliero, and V Pollinzi

After outlining and discussing the etiology and pathophysiology of the postcholecystectomy syndrome, the authors describe their own series of 35 cases, therapeutic policies, and results obtained. In the discussion they suggest that the so-called cystic stump syndrome has probably been overplayed, since in the authors' own series of cases there was a high incidence of associated pathology.
