The gallb ladder surgery was done in 1982 and has been a great success. The
clips were left behind purposely as part of the
operation. The cough is not chronic. It first came in 1984, then in 2004 and now a month ago. Each time it lingered for a month or so. What prompted my question was that all the testing that we did did not conclude in any particular cause of the cough, so I was thinking could it be due to the clips that some how irritate occasionally? Thanks for trying to help.
