Dumping following partial gastrectomy
Abstract:
The incidence of dumping has varied from 1 to 75% in a number of reported series. The discrepancy probably depends mainly on different definitions of the dumping syndrome. In the present work, the clinical diagnostic index (CDI) first proposed by Sigstad in 1968, has been used in a follow-up study of 241 patients after gastric resection for ulcer disease. 86% of the patients were satisfied with the result of the operation. Dumping occurred daily in 14.1% and 19.5% had the symptoms occasionally. The differences in the frequency of dumping after BI and BII resection were not statistically significant, gastro-jejunal fixation (GJF) and the position of the anastomosis had no influence on the prognosis.
