Efficacy of Choleretics in Acalculous Gallbladder in Situ After Endoscopic Removal of Biliary Stones
Efficacy of Choleretics in Acalculous Gallbladder in Situ After Endoscopic Removal of Biliary Stones
In patients with gallbladder in situ after complete removal of common bile duct (CBD) stones,
 there is no definite guideline for the management of remnant acalculous gallbladder. This
 study was planned to evaluate the efficacy of choleretic agents in those patients comparing
 with non-treatment group during short (2 years) and long-term (5 to 10 years) period. So
 that, the investigators want to establish the treatment guideline in gallbladder in situ
 without definite stones following complete removal of CBD stones. Second, the protective or
 preventive effect of choleretics may be defined.
