Early postgastrectomy syndrome

Zorkin Aleksey Aleksandrovitch

The article considers the course of the early postoperative period after performing distal gastrectomy in complicated chronic gastroduodenal ulcers in 84 patients. The frequency and duration of maintaining the symptom complex of organ lesion of the operated stomach, designated as early postgastrectomy syndrome (EPGES), are considered. It is noted that at an incidence rate of about 70%, these clinical manifestations are non-specific and statistically significantly more common after gastrectomy performed by one of the modifications of Billroth-2 than Billroth-1. The duration of EPGES is more than 5 days, and the severe course requires the exclusion of postoperative complications in order to perform a timely repeated surgical intervention.
