Actual (reported)Pancreaticobiliary reflux has been found in patients with cholelithiasis and gallbladder cancer associated with normal pancreaticobiliary union. However, the presence of pancreaticobiliary reflux has not been studied in patients without gallstones (healthy gallbladders). The authors believe that pancreaticobiliary reflux might be a normal phenomenon in patients with and without gallstones, although in patients with cholelithiasis it might constitute a pathological condition associated with dismotility of the biliary tree and the sphincter of Oddi.

Patients with normal gallbladder (without gallstones) evidenced by preoperative ultrasonography (and postoperative biopsy) submitted to elective gastroesophageal surgery (gastrectomy for gastric cancer, bariatric surgery or esophageal surgery such as Nissen plicature or miotomy for achalasia). The pancreaticobiliary junction must be normal as evidenced by intraoperative cholangiography. Preoperative values of amylase and lipase must be normal.
Patients submitted to elective cholecystectomy for diseased gallbladders (gallbladder with gallstones evidenced by preoperative ultrasound). The pancreaticobiliary junction must be normal as evidenced by intraoperative cholangiography and the preoperative amylase and lipase levels must also be normal.
Interventions were exactly similar for both groups, and that is how it was intended to be: Gallbladder bile sampling: Sample 5 cc of gallbladder bile after the cystic duct has been clipped or ligated. Intraoperative cholangiography: Perform cholangiography before the cholecystectomy is finished

1. Patients with gallstones (symptomatic cholelithiasis) submitted to elective surgery. 2. Patients without gallstones submitted to elective surgery for benign or malignant gastroesophageal diseases
