Duodenogastric reflux in peptic ulcer patients following surgical treatment using vagotomy

An analysis of 917 fiber gastroscopies of patients with ulcer disease and chronic gastritis has been made. Results of the complex examination of 140 patients after vagotomy for pyloroduodenal ulcer have been discussed. Gastroduodenal reflux has been found to be a complication of vagotomy. It most frequently follows draining operations on the stomach. The search for new means of surgical correction of duodenogastric reflux is required.
