    Author: Kuznetsov NN.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1975 Mar; 114(3):18-21. PubMed ID: 1119024.
    Abstract:
    Of 528 patients subjected to radical operations on the stomach for cancer, polyposis and ulcerous disease the dumping-syndrome was revealed in 74 patients. Following resection of the distal gastric portion the latter was observed in 49 cases, after resection of the cardia--in 18, and after gastrectomy--in 7. In most patients with the dumping-syndrome an impairment of basic hepatic functions and motor-evacuative function of the gastric stump was observed. The study of the work capacity in patients with the dumping-syndrome has deomonstrated its reduction in most patients (in 74% of cases). 55 of 74 investigated patients proved to be invalids of the second and third group. The capacity for work was mostly impaired in patients showing the dumping-syndrome of average and severe gravity.
