Abstract :

Common bile duct dilatation in post– cholecystectomy condition continues to be a matter of great controversy.Our aim was to determine the magnitude of common bile duct (CBD) dilatation in patients after cholecystectomy, followed up for a period of 1 year.

Aims and objectives:

To assess and evaluate the change in diameter of common bile duct post–cholecystectomy.

Material and methods:

This study was conducted in Maharishi Markendeshwar Medical College and Hospital, Kumarhatti Solan and a total of 100 patients were included in the study.

Inclusion criteria :–

All patients admitted in Maharishi Markendeshwar Medical College and Hospital, Kumarhatti Solan for cholecystectomy procedure were included in the study.

Exclusion criteria:–

Patients with severe co morbid conditions were excluded from the study.

Conclusion:–

Mild dilatation of common bile duct was seen post–operatively in most cases of cholecystectomy. Asymptomatic bile duct dilatation of up to 10 mm can be considered as normal range in patients after cholecystectomy. However a CBD dilatation of more than 3 mm above the baseline was seen in some patients.
