A group of 50 patients with total vagotomy plus pylorolasty are studied with pre and postoperative cholecystography in a four years follow-up. 50 patients with parietal cell vagotomy (selective vagotomy) served as control group. The AA. study the correlation of gallbladder dilatation with gallstones formation after total vagotomy. On the contrary parietal cell vagotomy prevents these dysfunctions.
