Reflux alkaline gastritis, a post-surgery complication, presents with pain, vomiting, and anemia. Diagnosis relies on endoscopy, with Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy as the preferred surgical treatment.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Gastroenterology

Background:

Reflux alkaline gastritis is a challenging postgastrectomy syndrome.
Distinguishing its symptoms from other postgastrectomy issues is complicated by patient emotional instability.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the clinical features, diagnostic methods, and optimal surgical treatment for reflux alkaline gastritis.

Main Methods:

Clinical observation of 49 patients.
Endoscopic examination to identify characteristic mucosal changes.
Surgical intervention assessment.

Main Results:

Key symptoms include epigastric pain, bilious vomiting, anemia, and dumping syndrome.
Endoscopic findings reveal adherent mucus, edema, friability, and erosions, particularly near the stoma.
