[Duodenal reflux and gastritis after Billroth I gastric resection (author's transl)].
Endoscopic and biopsy studies were undertaken in 92 patients who had undergone partial gastric resection (end-to-end gastroduodenostomy, Billroth I) one to seven years previously. In addition, the amound of duodeno-gastric reflux was evaluated by measuring bromsulphalein excretion in gastric juice. Atrophic gastritis occurred in 36%, while superficial gastritis was noted in 49% of patients. The degree and severity of the inflammatory changes was most marked near the anastomosis. The severity of the duodenal gastric reflux was decisive in the development of the atrophic mucosal changes. There was no demonstrable relationship between the degree of mucosal changes and the interval since the operation.
