  • Title: Postgastrectomy syndromes.
    Author: Woodward ER, Hocking MP.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 1987 Jun; 67(3):509-20. PubMed ID: 3589901.
    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.
