The remaining 50% are due to non-biliary causes. This is because upper abdominal pain and gallstones are both common but are not always related. Non-biliary causes of PCS may be caused by a functional gastrointestinal disorder, such as functional dyspepsia. [6] Chronic diarrhea in postcholecystectomy syndrome is a type of bile acid diarrhea ...
PPCS is caused by an electrocautery-induced injury to the wall of the colon that occurs during removal of colon polyps. [3] PPCS occurs when the electric current extends beyond the mucosa, entering the muscularis propria and serosa, resulting in a full thickness (transmural) burn injury. [ 1 ]

After pelvic exenteration, many patients will have perineal hernia, often without symptoms, but only 3–10% will have perineal hernia requiring surgical repair. [4] Many problems can occur with the stoma. [1] Bowel obstruction may occur, or the anastomosis created by the surgery may leak. [1] The stoma may retract, or may prolapse. [1]
Transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy is the preferred method for treating pain associated with seminal vesicles. [26] Balloon dilatation or transurethral ejaculatory duct resection are two treatments for ejaculatory duct obstruction. [27] In one study, tamsulosin-treated patients' symptoms significantly improved after four weeks of treatment. [5]
