Alkaline reflux gastritis: early and late results of surgery.

Background: Alkaline gastritis is caused by excessive reflux of alkaline duodenal content into the stomach or gastric remnant following procedures that resect or de-functionalize/deviate the pyloric sphincter. The symptoms may be intractable and surgery may be required in a selected subgroup of patients. The goal of this study was to present our experience regarding surgical management of alkaline reflux gastritis.
