High frequency of diarrhea has been found in patients with cholecystectomy. Diarrhea has a significant impact on quality of life among patients who have undergone cholecystectomy. Herein, we aim to investigate prevalence and risk factors of diarrhea after incidental cholecystectomy during hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This is a retrospective study and patients who underwent incidental cholecystectomy after hepatectomy between January 2005 and August 2015 at a single medical center were enrolled. A total of 209 cases were included in the study. Diarrhea was defined as the passing of three or more liquid stools per day. All patients were divided into two groups, patients with and without diarrhea at the time point of three months after incidental cholecystectomy during hepatectomy. Multiple logistic analysis revealed that history of diabetes (OR = 19.335, 95% CI: 2.992–125.203, p=0.002) at three months is risk factor associated with diarrhea after incidental cholecystectomy during hepatectomy. In order to reduce the risk of postoperative diarrhea and to enhance the quality of life in HCC patient with diabetes, long term follow up of nutritional status and liver function is also suggested. |
