Conclusions
Following a subtotal gastrectomy, the gall bladder functions may be interferred with. In our studies the gall bladder failed to fill in 6 per cent of the cases and the emptying was delayed in 14 per cent. The latter may lead to stasis within the gall bladder, later infection or gall stone formation. Four patients who developed gall stones after a subtotal gastrectomy are reported.
