Abstract

The paper reports the results of a follow-up of 25 patients who underwent gastric resection using Roux's technique, 15 patients undergoing reconstructive surgery according to Pean-Billroth and 15 who underwent Billroth II operations. Controls were performed more than 5 years after surgery and included endoscopic tests with biopsy and the evaluation of the biliary salt reflux in the gastric stump. Roux's operation was preferred both as a routine operation following gastric resection and as a reconversion operation due to the absence of biliary reflux, the negative biopsy tests at the level of the stump and anastomosis, and negative clinical aspects.
