Abstract

1. Experimental cholecystectomy was performed on 12 dogs. 2. The gallbladder was bluntly dissected from liver bed, biligated
and removed. 3. Animals withstood fairly well the operation and showed no
serious post-operative complications. 4. Patho-anatomical examination showed marked compensatory
hypertrophy of the common bile duct as early as 20 days post operation.
