biliary dyskinesia/abdominal pain

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with symptom relief in pediatric patients treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for biliary dyskinesia (BD). METHODS This was a case-control study of pediatric patients diagnosed with BD between January 2004 and June

BACKGROUND Biliary dyskinesia (BD) is a consideration as a cause of chronic abdominal pain in the pediatric population. We sought to correlate the results of cholecystokinin-diisopropyl iminodiacetic acid (CCK-DISIDA) scanning, the basis for diagnosis of BD, with outcome after laparoscopic

Gallbladder dyskinesia is not mentioned among current (ROME III) classification of the functional gastrointestinal disorders in children. However both own clinical experience and a few published data spike for the appearance these disturbances also in the developmental age. OBJECTIVE Ultrasound (US)

BACKGROUND Bioidentical hormones, including implanted estradiol-17beta pellets, have received considerable interest in the lay media. It is thought that parenteral estrogens have fewer gastrointestinal side effects than oral products. METHODS A 46-year-old woman in surgical menopause was transferred

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe clinico-pathological characteristics in a group of children with motility disorders of the gallbladder and correlate the findings with cases receiving surgical treatment for gallstone during the same period. METHODS Retrospective chart analysis of

Patients with biliary dyskinesia have biliary colic, a normal gallbladder ultrasound, and a gallbladder ejection fraction typically less than 35%. We report a retrospective review of 70 patients with biliary dyskinesia who underwent cholecystectomy. Seventy-seven percent of the patients were women.

OBJECTIVE The success rate of ameliorating the preoperative symptoms of biliary dyskinesia in a pediatric population has been reported to be approximately 80%. The purpose of this study was to identify patient characteristics that may help to predict successful clinical outcomes in pediatric

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the results of diagnostic laparoscopy in children with chronic recurrent abdominal pain. METHODS Thirteen children with chronic recurrent abdominal pain were subjected to diagnostic laparoscopy. Ages varied from 10 to 17 years. There were

We report our experience of cholecystectomy for treating symptoms suggestive of biliary disease in association with a decreased gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) but without evidence of cholelithiasis. Five children with normal biliary ultrasounds were evaluated between January 1990 and December

Biliary dyskinesia (BD) is a diagnosis that is being made increasingly in children. It is defined by abdominal pain thought to be biliary in nature based on location and character; a completely normal gallbladder on imaging tests, typically ultrasound; and decreased gallbladder contraction in
