Popis: Biliary dyskinesia (BD) is a motility disorder of the gallbladder that can result in right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Cholecystectomy is considered the standard of care for BD. Up to 23 per cent of pediatric patients who undergo surgery for BD have persistent symptoms postoperatively. We performed a retrospective review to identify preoperative factors significantly associated with symptom resolution after cholecystectomy. We retrospectively reviewed pediatric patients aged 10–17 years diagnosed with BD who underwent cholecystectomy between 2006 and 2016. Patients were divided into two groups based on postoperative symptom resolution. Chi-squared and student t tests were used to compare patient groups. Two hundred and thirty-six patients were included in the study. The most common preoperative symptoms included RUQ pain (80.1%), nausea (54.2%), postprandial pain (44.5%), vomiting (32.6%), and epigastric pain (19.9%). The rate of postoperative symptom resolution was 68.6 per cent. Comparative analysis showed patients who presented with RUQ pain, nausea, postprandial pain, or constipation experienced significantly higher rates of symptom resolution postoperatively. In addition, patients with ejection fraction
