Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is found to be effective in improving symptoms for patients with abdominal pain and biliary dyskinesia (low ejection fraction <35%), but there is a lack of evidence regarding its effectiveness for patients with biliary symptoms and a normal ejection fraction (>35%). In a retrospective study of 117 patients with negative workup, including normal ejection fraction, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 84% reported resolution of pre-operative symptoms. There was no significant correlation between pain during hida scan and ejection fraction with symptom resolution.
