[Effect of different types of vagotomy on the contractile activity of the gall bladder]

Based on the analysis of serial cholecystography, performed in 112 patients, the authors concluded that trunk and selective vagotomy associated with economic gastric resection, selective proximal vagotomy with and without drainage of the stomach do not essentially influence the contractile capacity of the gallbladder. Following selective and trunk vagotomy in early postoperative terms dilation of the gallbladder was noted, which, however, was transitory. Selective proximal vagotomy with and without drainage of the stomach does not influence the size of the gallbladder.
