The effect of a transpyloric tube on duodenogastric reflux and on gastric emptying was studied in dogs with either an intact pylorus, a Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty, or an extramucosal circular pylorectomy. In fasting dogs, duodenogastric reflux was 10 times smaller than after feeding a liquid lipid meal. A transpyloric tube increased the reflux rate in fasting, but not in fed dogs, while pylorectomy increased reflux rate and intragastric accumulation of a duodenal marker in fed, but not in fasting dogs. It is concluded, therefore, that in the dog (1) methods to measure duodenogastric reflux should not involve the necessity to position a transpyloric tube and (2) the pylorus and adjacent structures are involved in keeping duodenogastric reflux at a low level.

Background: Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with Billroth I (B-I) reconstruction is frequently performed for gastric cancer. However, the difference between the circular stapler technique (CS) and delta-shaped anastomosis (DA) remains unclear, especially regarding the postoperative endoscopic physiological findings.

Methods: Three hundred and one patients including 150 CS patients and 151 DA patients during LADG with B-I reconstruction between 2013 and 2019 at Saitama Medical University International Medical Center were chosen as study subjects.

Article Synopsis
  • Early detection and better treatment options are helping gastric cancer patients live longer, leading to a rise in cases of remnant gastric cancer after surgery.
  • Traditionally linked to poor survival rates, recent advancements in diagnosis and endoscopic therapy are enhancing treatment outcomes for this condition.
  • The review highlights the importance of understanding remnant gastric cancer's development and advocates for regular endoscopic surveillance to catch any early signs of cancer in post-gastrectomy patients.

The Impact of Cholecystectomy on Bile Reflux After One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass.

Obes Surg

January 2025

Center of Excellence of European Branch of International Federation for Surgery of Obesity, Hazrat-e Rasool Hospital, Tehran, Iran.

Background: Bile reflux (BR) is an issue after one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). Cholecystectomy can increase BR in patients without a history of metabolic and bariatric surgery. We aimed to evaluate the effect of cholecystectomy on BR after OAGB.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Chinese agarwood (Aquilaria sinensis) has been a traditional treatment for digestive disorders in South and East Asia. While sesquiterpenes are recognized as the key active constituents of Chinese agarwood, the efficacy and mechanism of the sesquiterpene-enriched extract of Chinese agarwood (PEE) on bile reflux gastritis (BRG) remain unclear.

Aim Of The Study: To explore the protective impact of PEE against BRG and unveil its underlying mechanism in suppressing apoptosis of gastric mucosal cells.

Efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid for bile reflux after distal gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer: a secondary analysis of the PEGASUS-D randomized clinical trial.

Int J Surg

December 2024

Department of Surgery and Cancer Research Institute, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Background: Few studies have been conducted on the prevention of bile reflux in gastric cancer patients who have undergone gastrectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in preventing bile reflux after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer.

Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of the PEGASUS-D trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
