Sixteen cases of postgastrectomy bezoars were diagnosed and treated in the period of five years. Various mechanisms of their information, symptomatology and therapy are discussed. We believe postgastrectomy bezoars are relatively frequent but often missed entities.

Recurrent ulceration following gastrectomy for peptic ulcer disease typically occurs within the first several years postoperatively. Since 1990, we have managed 20 patients who had undergone previous gastrectomy for peptic ulcer and developed ulcer recurrence more than 10 years postoperatively. Mean age at recurrence was 64 years, and the average time from original surgery to recurrent ulceration was 21 years (range, 10-36 years).

Development of intragastric bezoar may be an indication of neoplastic growth sufficient to obstruct a small gastric outlet.
