Abstract

Abstract Two cases of bezoar formation after vagotomy and drainage are reported. A review of the literature reveals the stomach to be the most common site of bezoar formation after operations involving vagotomy, whereas most bezoars occurring after gastrectomy are found in the small intestine. The reasons for this difference are discussed, as well as the clinical features and treatment of bezoar.
