Prevention Of Reflux Esophagitis After Gastrectomy

Abstract

Reflux esophagitis is one of the most common and clinically significant complications after gastrectomy. Its development is associated with the loss of the reservoir and barrier functions of the stomach, disruption of anatomical and physiological antireflux mechanisms, and altered gastrointestinal motility. This condition significantly reduces patients’ quality of life and may lead to erosive and ulcerative lesions of the esophagus. The article discusses modern approaches to the prevention of reflux esophagitis after gastrectomy, including surgical, pharmacological, and dietary methods. Special attention is given to reconstructive surgical techniques aimed at reducing duodenogastroesophageal reflux
