Summary:
The authors present surgical management in patients with duodenogastroesophageal reflux in gastroesophageal reflux disorders. Currently,
negative effects of alcalic biliary reflux on the esophageal mucosa have been demonstrated. It may result in serious complications
of the disorder, including esophageal strictures, ulcerations, bleeding and, in particular, development of a Barrett’s esophagus premalignancy
which may, potentialy, result in adenocarcinoma. During 2004–2005, a total of 148 subjects were operated in the Ist Surgical Clinic
for gastroesophageal reflux disorders. Most of the subjects underwent antireflux procedures, laparoscopic Rossetti modifications of
fundoplication. The group of patients suffering from symptomatic biliary refluxes, confirmed on endoscopy, included 14 subjects. The
patients were indicated for indirect antireflux procedures, gastric resections with gastrojejunoanastomosis using a Roux loop.
After the procedure, all patients recovered from the symptoms of the disorder, which corresponded with favourable control findings
on endoscopy. In patients with symptomatic biliary reflux, indirect antireflux procedrues are prefered, to prevent development of esophageal
reflux disorder complications.
Key words:
biliary reflux – surgical therapy – indirect antireflux procedure
