Esophageal reflux after gastrectomy: a hazard after Billroth-I subtotal gastrectomy

A Endo et al. Int Surg. 1978 May-Jun.

Abstract

One hundred and seventy-six patients were evaluated for esophageal reflux after gastrectomy. Apart from proximally and totally gastrectomized cases, the conventional Billroth-I type of distal subtotal gastrectomy destroys many esophageal reflux preventive mechanisms. The Roux-en-Y type of repair should be adopted for the prevention of reflux.
