[Detection of reflux esophagitis following gastrectomy using cholescintigraphy]
Abstract:
A total of 53 patients after gastrectomy were examined by hepatobiliary scintigraphy with i.v. administration of 25 MBq of 99mTc-BIDA. Evacuation of the duodenal content proximally of enteroenteroanastomosis was revealed in 24 patients. Reflux-esophagitis was noted in 14 patients, in 10 of 11 patients, duodenal content got into the esophagus. The results of hepatobiliary scintigraphy were compared with those of endoscopic and x-ray diagnostic methods. A high informative value and significance of the results of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in the detection of reflux-esophagitis after gastrectomy were noted.
