| Popis: | Background and Objectives: Gallbladder (GB) stones, a major cause of symptomatic cholecystitis, are more likely to develop in post gastrectomy people. Our purpose is to evaluate characteristics of symptomatic cholecystitis after gastrectomy. Materials and Method: In January 2011–December 2021, total 1587 patients underwent operations for symptomatic cholecystitis at our hospital. We reviewed the patients’ general characteristics, operation results, pathologic results, and postoperative complications. We classified the patients into non-gastrectomy and gastrectomy groups, further divided into subtotal gastrectomy and total gastrectomy groups. Result: The patients’ ages, male proportion, and the open surgery rate were significantly higher (127/1543 (8.2%) vs. 17/44 (38.6%); p < 0.001), and the operation time was longer (102.51 ± 52.43 vs. 167.39 ± 82.95; p < 0.001) in the gastrectomy group. Extended surgery rates were significantly higher in the gastrectomy group (56/1543 (3.6%) vs. 12/44 (27.3%); p < 0.001). The period from gastrectomy to symptomatic cholecystitis was significantly shorter in the total gastrectomy group (12.72 ± 10.50 vs. 7.25 ± 4.80; p = 0.040). Conclusion: GB stones were more likely to develop in post-gastrectomy patients and extended surgery rates were higher. The period to cholecystitis was shorter in total gastrectomy. Efforts to prevent GB stones are considered in post-gastrectomy patients. |
