[Erosive gastritis after an organ-preserving operation for duodenal ulcer]

Examined were 243 patients with duodenal ulcer after the operation of selective proximal vagotomy. Pyloroplasty was performed in 49.9%, duodenoplasty in 53.1%. A 1-2 year follow-up revealed erosive gastritis in the proximal region in 18.5%, in the antrum in 13.9%, combined location in 5.8%. Differences in the mechanisms of formation of erosions in different zones of the stomach in erosive gastritis were established. The tactics of treatment of erosive gastritis is discussed.
