Incidence and risk factors for symptomatic gallstone disease after gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a nationwide population-based study
Symptomatic gallstone disease requiring invasive intervention occurred in 7.1% of the patients after gastrectomy for gastric cancer, representing a substantial increase compared to the general population. Pylorus-preserving gastrectomy and laparoscopic surgery were associated with a lower risk, suggesting that the surgical approach may influence the long-term gallstone risk.
