This procedure is done after 5 to 8 weeks post abdominal operation for the maturation of the T-tube tract when fibrous tissue is formed at its walls to support the tract and keep the tract open. [11] Guidewire is then advanced through the T-tube before the T-tube is ...
T-tubules (transverse tubules) are extensions of the cell membrane that penetrate into the center of skeletal and cardiac muscle cells.With membranes that contain large concentrations of ion channels, transporters, and pumps, T-tubules permit rapid transmission of the action potential into the cell, and also play an important role in regulating cellular calcium concentration.
After the surgery, nasogastric suction is usually maintained for 2–3 days and the tube is removed when there is low output. Once the tube is in place, it can be used to give the patient food and medicine. [medical citation needed] A fluid diet is started after surgery and the diet is advanced as tolerated by the patient.

[27] Removal of the gallbladder with surgery, known as a cholecystectomy, is the definitive surgical treatment for biliary colic. [28] A 2013 Cochrane review found tentative evidence to suggest that early gallbladder removal may be better than delayed removal. [29] Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy happens within 72 hours of diagnosis. [13]
