STUDY ON REFLUX ESOPHAGITIS AFTER TOTAL GASTRECTOMY

Alkaline reflux esophagitis in patients with total gastrectomy and Roux en Y esojejunostomy.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Alkaline reflux esophagitis is a complication that might develop in patients with total gastrectomy. The aim of the study was to analyze the prevalence and severity of reflux esophagitis and the occurence of complications (Barrett's esophagus and esophageal stenosis) in patients with total gastrectomy and Roux en Y esojejunostomy. METHODS 92 patients with total gastrectomy...

Intrathoracic Hernia after Total Gastrectomy

Intrathoracic hernias after total gastrectomy are rare. We report the case of a 78-year-old man who underwent total gastrectomy with antecolic Roux-Y reconstruction for residual gastric cancer. He had alcoholic liver cirrhosis and received radical laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy for gastric cancer 3 years ago. Early gastric cancer in the remnant stomach was found by routine upper gastrointest...

Barrett's esophagus, reflux esophagitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis.

o r t R s h m f 3 o b Many new and exciting endoscopy-related studies on Barrett’s esophagus, reflux esophagitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis were presented during the 2012 Digestive Disease Week (DDW; 19-22 May, San Diego, California, USA). Endoscopic research in Barrett’s esophagus mainly focused on surveillance, detection, and ablation therapy, while clinical studies in eosinophilic esophag...
