What is usg abdomen?
Brief Answer:
Pain in right upper quadrant, USG = Ultrasound Abdomen
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking in HCM.
Pain in right quadrant below ribs is generally due to bile stones. But as you are saying it is already removed so this cause is unlikely.
It can be due to some other pathologies like stone in billiary ducts.,peptic ulcers etc.
So better to go for whole abdomen ultrasound (USG Abdomen) to rule out above etiologies.
Visit your doctor.
Take care.
