[Sequential hepatic photoscintigraphy with 99mTc HIDA as a method for evaluating alkaline reflux after gastric...

The authors have utilized the hepatic sequential photoscintigraphy practiced with 99mTc HIDA to inquiry, into the optics of the alkaline backflow, two patterns of reconstruction after gastric surgery: 1) gastric resection by Quiroli (5 cases inquired); 2) gastrectomy by Moricca (5 cases inquired). The research has demonstrated that the reconstruction by Quiroli is utilizable in order to avoid the backflow and elides the possibility of after meal relaxation of the afferent ansa; the research applied to Moricca's method has shown that does not happen oesophageal backflow at fast and that a least and fleeting backflow happens in the first three minutes from the ingestion of the bole. The authors believe that, though applied to little cases, the practiced method is exact and electively qualified for the study of the surgery modifications of the digestive apparatus over-mesocolico.
