  • Title: [Enterogastric reflux: experimental and clinical aspects].
    Author: Mosimann F.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1987; 87(5):313-6. PubMed ID: 3503456.
    Abstract:
    Reflux gastritis is a controversial topic. On the basis of clinical, experimental and endoscopic data, most authors regard it as a possible sequel of any operation that abolishes antro-pyloric continence; they treat it by a 50 cm Roux-en-Y-loop. However several recent publications have questioned the very existence of this syndrome. Contrary to initial hopes, quantitation of reflux by 99mTc HIDA cholescintigraphy has not settled this debate. Scintigraphy seems to be of limited value in selecting patients likely to be improved by the surgical correction of reflux. In the future, the environment into which reflux occurs should be investigated more thoroughly.
