Abstract
Introduction: The colonization by Helicobacter pylori is associated with various diseases in the upper gastrointestinal tract such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric cancer and gastric lymphoma. Therefore the aim of this study was Evaluation of the frequency of helicobacter pylori in the gallbladder sample of Iranian patient who underwent cholecyctectomy.
Methods: The methods used in this systematic review were based on the Checklist (PRISMA) Guidelines. The searches were conducted by two independent researchers and the aim was to find the relevant studies published from 1/1/2000 to 30/5/2019.
Results: A total of 257 patients and a total of 4 studies from 3 provinces that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. According to the random effect model, the total frequency of helicobacter pylori in 257 patients was 26% (21%-31% at a 95% confidence interval, I2 = 91.1%).
Conclusions: Bacteria that lie in the gallbladder epithelium and bile ducts will be able to be a powerful source for causing gallbladder diseases. Surgeons should therefore not only consider the treatment of diseases and infections of the gallbladder, but they should also pay attention to the treatment of infected bile, which is rich in various bacteria.
