Vitamin B12 and bile acid metabolism in patients with partial iieal resection.
The vitamin B12 and bile acid metabolism was studied in 20 patients in whom a standardized Bricker procedure without irradiation was performed. No significant vitamin B12 malabsorption, steatorrhea, fecal bile acid loss or bile acid deconjugation was found. Therefore, no long-term adverse metabolic consequences of segmental preterminal ileal resection are to be expected in these patients.
