title: Surgical treatment of the postgastrectomy dumping syndrome.
abstract: Fifteen patients were treated surgically for dumping syndrome at the University of Florida between 1972 and 1977. Five of them had a reversed jejunal segment interposed between the stomach and the Roux limb and 10 had simple 45 cm Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy. The reversed segment has been, in our experience, a uniform disappointment. Straight Roux-en-Y duodenal diversion, with the exception of temporary delay in gastric emptying in a few cases, has proved successful in treating the postgastrectomy dumping syndrome.
