Sa1425 INCIDENCE AND RISK FACTORS FOR GALLSTONE FORMATION AFTER SURGICAL AND ENDOSCOPIC THERAPY FOR GASTRIC CANCER

Prevalence of gallstones is increased after gastrectomy. However, study comparing incidence of gallstone between endoscopic therapy and gastrectomy has been scarce. The aim of this study was to compare incidence of gallstone formation after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) and gastrectomy for treatment of gastric cancer patients during a 5-year follow-up period and to evaluate the risk factors for gallstones formation development after treatment of gastric cancer.
