Primary gastric lymphoma is a rare tumour. It is thought that low grade gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma has not been previously reported to occur in a patient with gastrojejunostomy. This report describes such a case. The patient presented with bleeding from non-healing stomal ulcers. The ulcers healed and there was regression of the tumour after eradication of Helicobacter p...

A clinical study was undertaken to determine the incidence of the dumping syndrome following partial gastrectomy and Roux-en-y gastrojejunostomy. Twenty-three patients were scored according to a clinical diagnostic index. There were no dumpers identified. A theoretical explanation for these findings is offered. A Roux-en-y conversion should be considered for patients with disabling dumping symp...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is a common, well-established procedure, but no consensus regarding selection of the gastrojejunostomy (GJ) technique has been reached, and standardization of this precise technique is far from being achieved. AIM To compare circular-stapled and linear-stapled GJ in LRYGB in terms of operative time and postoperative complications. M...

Marginal ulcers can be a rare but fatal post-surgical complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). In this report, we will describe the case 70-year-old female, with seven-year status post-gastrojejunostomy who presented perforated marginal ulcer and showed significant improvement in her symptoms after revisional operation for ulcer. The goal report is to make clinicians aware unique compli...

n By strict definition, antrectomy refers to removal of the gastrin-secreting portion of the stomach and when combined with a vagotomy results in an 85% reduction in gastric acid secretion. In the 1960s and 1970s, antrectomy with or without vagotomy was routinely performed for treatment of benign gastric and duodenal ulcers but, due to pharmacologic developments in reducing acid secretion and e...

A 49-year-old Korean man was admitted to our hospital on 15 November 2013 because of diarrhea, a body weight loss of 10kg over 2 months, and a 1-month history of edema in both legs. He had undergone gastrectomy for gastric perforation after drinking agricultural chemicals in 2001, and in 2008 had also received a bypass gastrojejunostomy to treat pyloric obstruction resulting from recurrent gast...
