[The postcholecystectomy syndrome. Prophylaxis and therapy (author's transl)].

The postcholecystectomy syndrome is no inevitable sequel to operation on the biliary tract. The conditions for the postcholecystectomy syndrome are only created if the patients do not come for operation early, i.e. in good time, because the gall bladder disease has by then become a disease of the biliary tract and consequently the technique of the operation and prognosis have assumed considerably more serious characteristics. The postcholecystectomy syndrome is an internal medical, surgical and general medical problem which is preprogramed by procrastinators.
