  • Title: Esophageal reflux after gastrectomy: a hazard after Billroth-I subtotal gastrectomy.
    Author: Endo A, Okamura S, Kono N, Katsumi M.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1978; 63(4):52-8. PubMed ID: 700935.
    Abstract:
    One hundred and seventy-six patients were evaluated for esophageal reflux after gastrectomy. Apart from proximally and totally gastrectomized cases, the conventional Billroth-I type of distal subtotal gastrectomy destroys many esophageal reflux preventive mechanisms. The Roux-en-Y type of repair should be adopted for the prevention of reflux.
