2023, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Cholecystectomy disturbs the metabolism of bile salts and leads to an increased formation of secondary bile acids, which have a carcinogenic effect on intestinal and colonic mucosa [24,25]. Other postcholecystectomy complications, including unrelieved pain, indigestion, intolerance of fatty foods, and bloating, were also frequently reported [26–28]. Although we reported six patients who underwent cholecystectomy with good results, this group is too small to generalize from.
