    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Context:

    • Postvagotomy diarrhea is a common complication following gastric surgery.
    • Understanding its pathogenesis is crucial for effective patient management.

    Purpose:

    • To elucidate the primary pathogenic mechanisms contributing to postvagotomy diarrhea.
    • To outline current treatment strategies and indications for surgical correction.

    Summary:

    • Key factors include rapid gastric emptying, accelerated intestinal transit, and impaired digestion/absorption leading to hyperosmolar chyme entering the colon.
    • Truncal vagotomy is frequently associated with this condition, often presenting paroxysmally.
    • Treatment typically involves benzohexamethonium and dietary modifications, with surgery reserved for refractory cases.
