Overview
Symptoms of biliary dyskinesia have been reported to resolve without any invasive procedure in about half of the patients. Patients with gallbladder dyskinesia (GD) that have typical classic biliary symptoms are more likely to have improvement after cholecystectomy compared to those with atypical symptoms. Relief of symptoms has been reported in 80% of the patients that were diagnosed with sphincter of Oddi disorder (SOD) by manometry and treated with sphincterotomy.
