[Duodenogastric reflux in patients with alimentary obesity]
Abstract:
The authors analyze findings from a comprehensive clinical and instrumental evaluation of 59 patients presenting with duodenogastric reflux. The above findings suggest that underlying the duodenogastric reflux in those patients having surplus body mass might be hypotonia of the stomach, particularly its pyloric portion. In patients with body mass that do not deviate from physiologic norms regurgitation of bile into the stomach results from the presence of duodenal dyskinesia by hypertonic type. The results obtained suggest that patients with gastroduodenal reflux need treatment options for them to be carefully thought out. The above reflux appeared to be particularly pronounced in those patients presenting with alimentary obesity as per analysis of the gastric content. Patients with grade II obesity show more noticeable tonic disorders of the pyloric portion of the stomach.
