What is a cholecystectomy clips and are they suppose to be left in after surgeryhow do you get gas in the l5-s1 region and how do you get rid of it thanks you?

The clips do not cause problems. They are used to clip the artery going to the gall bladder and the duct that drains the gall bladder. They can cause problems if they slip of the structures on which they were placed, and this would occur in the first couple of days after surgery. In this case one would have bleeding or a bile leak. This is not a likely event if the clips were placed with care by the surgeon. The clips are made of titanium.

It is entirely possible. Depending on how many incision sites and probes they used during surgery would depend on the amount of clips/stitches required. Just for example: 5 entry points, depending on the size may equal 2,3 clips per site. 3 x 5 = 15 clips.
