Fatty Liver in Long Standing Cholecystectomy

This observational study aims to evaluate the association between long-term cholecystectomy and the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in adult patients. The study will assess the prevalence and severity of hepatic steatosis in individuals who underwent cholecystectomy several years earlier and compare clinical, metabolic, and biochemical parameters to identify potential risk factors. The goal is to determine whether cholecystectomy contributes to metabolic alterations that increase the likelihood of MAFLD in the long term.
