[Re-operations for biliary disorders in cholecystectomized patients].

A total of 125 cholecystectomized patients are analized, that underwent new surgery for major biliary disturbances. From this study were excluded patients in whom re-interventions were performed for immediate postoperative complications, for surgical accidents, those in whom the primary intervention involved the major biliary pathway, as well as those in whom reintervention was necessary because of other disturbances. 72,8% of the patients in whom reinterventions had to be performed presented one or more obstacles in the major biliary pathway in the authors' opinion coexisted with the initial cholelithiasis. The authors consider that reinterventions should be performed as early as possible, interpretation of the disturbances sequellae of cholecystectomy representing a futile temporization and making more severe the evolution of the patient's condition.
