title: Imaging late complications of cholecystectomy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review the imaging findings in late complications of cholecystectomy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Late postcholecystectomy complications include papillary stenosis, choledocholithiasis, biliary stricture, remnant gallbladder, and dropped gallstones. Such complications can cause substantial morbidity, and knowledge of the imaging appearances can facilitate expeditious diagnosis and treatment.
