Biliary dyskinesia refers to altered tonus of the sphincter of Oddi (usually increased pressure), disturbance in the coordination of contraction of the biliary ducts, and/or reduction in the speed of emptying of the biliary tree.
Failure of the biliary sphincter can be distinguished from the pancreatic sphincter.[1]
[edit] Treatment
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been used to treat the condition.[2]
Symptoms may persist after cholecystectomy,[3] and have been linked to the use of proton pump inhibitors.[4]
