“…Truncal vagotomy results in gallbladder hypomotility, 1-12 biliary stasis, 1,[3][4][5][8][9][10][11][12] and various changes in bile composition, 5,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] all of which were considered to enhance gallstone formation. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Total gastrectomy involves truncal vagotomy and is a high-risk procedure for the development of cholelithiasis. [1][2][3] As truncal vagotomy is an integral part of esophagectomy, we hypothesized that esophagectomy would also predispose to gallstone formation.…”
