    Author: Ghahremani GG.
    Journal: Crit Rev Diagn Imaging; 1984; 23(2):119-49. PubMed ID: 6399016.
    Abstract:
    Cholecystectomy is the most common type of abdominal surgery performed among adult patients. Almost 500,000 biliary tract operations are done in the United States each year for treatment of gallstones and associated biliary disorders. Complications of local or systemic nature develop in 10 to 15% of these cases, and radiological methods frequently play a crucial role in their diagnosis and management. This article presents a comprehensive review of the clinical and radiological features of the spectrum of complications encountered after cholecystectomy and bile duct exploration.
