[Postgastrectomy findings in the after care of 227 patients with stomach carcinoma].
Rehabilitation needs and problems in 227 gastric cancer patients. In an investigation on needs of rehabilitation in gastric cancer we evaluated postgastrectomy problems in 227 gastrectomized patients. The average weight loss was 5% prior to operation and there was a further weight loss of 16% in the follow-up 18 months after the operation due to the postgastrectomy syndrome. The most frequent complaints of gastrectomized patients were inappetence (32%), reflux oesophagitis (25.1%), eructation (54.2%), diarrhea (22%), flatulence (36.5%), dumping syndrome (20.4%). 176 patients (78%) observed an indigestion of certain food since the operation. Postgastrectomy syndromes were more frequent in totally than in partially gastrectomized patients.
