[Long-term results after simple standardized cholecystectomy (author's transl)].

In a study founded on two random samples of 237 patients each from 1970--1977, 96% of the patients have had no complaints or they have felt much better after simple cholecystectomy. Retrospective analysis of 3822 patients with a standardized simple cholecystectomy with papilloplasty and without cholangiometry and cholangioscopy shows that only 4% have attacks of pain in the right side of the upper abdomen. In half of the cases an organic reason was found which had no connection with the bile duct.
