title: [Cholelithiasis and ileo-ceco-cystoplasty (study of 39 patients)].
abstract: Limited data have been reported concerning the gallstone complications of ileocaecocystoplasty. A retrospective study of gallbladder ultrasonography looking for gallstones was performed in 35 of 39 patients undergoing ileocaecocystoplasty between July 1987 and July 1991. The surgical technique used in 33 men and 2 women with a mean age of 64.5 years was that described by Thuroff (Mainz Pouch). Gallbladder ultrasonography was performed a fortnight before the operation and then regularly during follow-up, with a mean follow-up of 24 months. Eight patients, an average of 13 months after ileocaecocystoplasty, developed ultrasonographically detectable gallstones, whose prevalence in the male study population was four times higher than that of the general male population. This study raises the question of whether cholecystectomy should be performed routinely during ileocaecocystoplasty and further studies should be conducted to clarify this problem.
