Phytobezoar: a recurring abdominal problem

J R Hines, R E Guerkink, R T Gordon

    American Journal of Surgery
    |June 1, 1977

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Phytobezoars, or undigested masses, commonly occur after gastric surgery for peptic ulcers. Prevention through dietary guidance is key, as treatment for gastric phytobezoars is often endoscopic, while intestinal ones may require surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Phytobezoars are a known complication following gastric surgery, particularly for peptic ulcer disease.
    • Billroth I resections are associated with a higher incidence of gastric phytobezoars, especially when combined with vagotomy.
    • Billroth II resections can lead to intestinal phytobezoars due to the larger stoma and potential for ileal obstruction.
