PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a prior gastrectomy on the difficulty of subsequent colonoscopy, and to identify the surgical factors related to difficult colonoscopies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with a prior gastrectomy who had undergone a colonoscopy between 2011 and 2014 (n=482) were matched (1:6) to patients with no history of gastrectomy (n=2,892). C...

Whether patients who have undergone gastrectomy are at a high risk of developing pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) remains debatable. From the inpatient claims records of Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified 33 834 patients with a history of 2000-2010 and135 336 controls without a history of gastrectomy. The 2cohorts were matched by age, sex, and admission year and fol...

Biopsies of 17 peptic ulcer patients, randomly treated by partial gastrectomy with either Billroth-II (n = 9) or Roux-en-Y (n = 8) anastomosis were studied before and six months after surgery to determine the role of bile reflux in the early postoperative histological alterations of the gastric mucosa. After BII-gastrectomy bile acid reflux (median 16.1 mumol/h) was significantly higher (p less...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare clinical features of vitamin B12 deficiency patients with a history of gastrectomy to those without a history of gastrectomy. METHODS Twenty-two patients with vitamin B12 deficiency were included. Patients' chief complaints, oral manifestations, blood examination results, and past medical histories were reviewed. RESULTS Eleven patients ha...

background: total and partial gastrectomy is commonly used to treat gastric carcinoma or other benign or malignant conditions of the stomach. laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy is an alternative approach for treating mucosal gastric cancer. many investigators have assessed the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of this procedure.rnobjectives: the aim of present study is to compare the outc...

aim :  this study aimed to compare the recurrence rate, mortality, and morbidity of curative resection of distal adenocarcinoma of the stomach between total gastrectomy (tg) and subtotal gastrectomy (stg). background : the choice between tg and stg for adenocarcinoma of the lower third of the stomach is still a matter of debate and controversy among surgeons. patients and methods : hospital rec...

total gastrectomy is one of the most common operative procedures for gastric malignancy, but therecommended method of gastrointestinal reconstruction after gastrectomy is still controversial. significantweight loss has been noted by many observers following gastrectomy. the roux-en-y method is the mostfrequent reconstructive technique performed after gastrectomy. this technique is easy to perfo...
