Summary
This study evaluated 23 reoperated patients with alkaline gastritis syndrome, a complication following gastroduodenal ulcer surgery. Modified surgical techniques provided symptom relief for most patients, even long-term.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
- Digestive System Diseases
Background:
- Alkaline gastritis syndrome is a complication after gastroduodenal ulcer surgery.
- The study reviewed 23 cases (1.6%) of reoperated patients with this syndrome.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the clinical, radiological, laboratory, endoscopic, and histopathological aspects of alkaline gastritis syndrome.
- To evaluate the outcomes of modified surgical reoperations for alkaline gastritis.
Main Methods:
- Review of 23 reoperated patients with alkaline gastritis syndrome.
- Initial surgeries included Billroth II gastric resection or vagotomy with gastroenterostomy.
- Modified surgical procedures: Soupault-Bucaille, Poth type, Y-en-Roux, desgastroenterostomy with pyloroplasty, all with vagotomy.
Main Results:
- 19 patients had evident alkaline gastritis; others had mixed syndromes.
- Modified surgeries included Soupault-Bucaille (7), Poth type (1), Y-en-Roux (14), and desgastroenterostomy with pyloroplasty (1).
- Follow-up periods ranged from 8 to 15 years, with 50% observed at 8 years; many remained symptom-free.
Conclusions:
- Modified surgical interventions are effective in managing alkaline gastritis syndrome.
- Long-term follow-up indicates sustained symptom relief and positive outcomes after reoperation.
