Incidence, Risk Factors, and Time Trends for Bile Leakage After Cholecystectomy for Gallstone Disease-Results From a Population-Based Cohort Study. [PDF]
World J SurgBile leakage is a severe complication after cholecystectomy and is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of bile leakage post‐cholecystectomy and to identify potential risk factors and their association with changes in the incidence of bile leakage over time.

Delay in gallbladder emptying during the perimenopausal period
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000 A pilot study has ascribed an important role in gallbladder motility and emptying to the perimenopausal period. To assess the effect of this period on gallbladder emptying and cholelithogenesis, 25 women in the perimenopausal period without gallbladder ...
