Abstract:
Refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease can develop after proximal gastrectomy and esophagogastrostomy. We introduce a new method that combines distal gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction to treat refractory reflux esophagitis in patients who have undergone proximal gastrectomy and esophagogastric anastomosis reconstruction. This novel method may be useful not only for alleviating the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease but also for preventing future esophageal malignancies arising from long-term reflux esophagitis.

Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...
