title: Postgastrectomy syndromes.
abstract: The most common types of postgastrectomy disorders are the dumping syndromes (early postprandial and late or hypoglycemic) and alkaline reflux gastritis. Both are caused by destruction of the pyloric mechanism. A third problem, Roux-en-Y duodenal diversion, frequently results in delayed gastric emptying.
