* For post cholecystectomy syndrome, a separate analysis is performed; cases of this syndrome presented rapidly and were self-limited also quickly. ‡ The patients who presented irritable bowel syndrome were different from those who presented post cholecystectomy syndrome. Patients with a previous diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome were not included in the analysis. For descriptive purposes, they continued with the same symptoms after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. IBS = irritable bowel syndrome, IBS-D = irritable bowel syndrome subtype diarrhea, IBS-C = irritable bowel syndrome subtype constipation, IBS-M = irritable bowel syndrome subtype mixed. |
