title: [The Roux loop syndrome: a postgastrectomy syndrome. Description of 2 clinical cases].
abstract: The Roux-En-Y operation has been used to control enterogastric reflux occurring after previous distal gastric resection and it has been used extensively in the treatment of alkaline reflux. Recently a postgastrectomy syndrome characterized by chronic abdominal pain, persistent nausea and vomiting that is exacerbated by eating and that develops after the Roux-En-Y operation has been described. It has therefore been postulated that the Roux-En-Y limb acts as a functional obstruction and causes the symptoms.
