The 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, and 25-year recurrence rates from the time of cholecystectomy were 2.6%, 21.9%, 42.1%, 58.8%, and 65.8%, respectively, and significantly positive correlations were observed between recurrence and the time from cholecystectomy to recurrence ( r = 0.205, 95% CI 0.016–0.379, P = 0.029), thus indicating an increasing trend of recurrence over time.
