Methods: The subjects were 91 patients who had undergone distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer more than 1 month earlier. To examine the severity of gastroesophageal reflux, acid reflux and alkali reflux were assessed, and to examine the severity of duodenal reflux into the remnant stomach, biliary scintigraphy was performed.
