title: Early postoperative and postgastrectomy syndromes. Diagnosis, management, and prevention.
abstract: The evaluation and treatment of patients after operations on the foregut is a challenge for physicians and surgeons. The early postoperative period is an especially important interval because the very survival of the patient as well as the success of the surgical intervention depends on the correct interpretation of the presenting complaints. In all cases, a thoughtful and systematic approach allows physicians and surgeons to identify the causes and best remedies of these challenging problems.
