Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: Over a period of 12 years, 370 consecutive patients with a partial gastrectomy were seen (268 Billroth II, 102 Billroth I) and three groups of patients were identified. Group 1 included 64 patients (17%) with a hiatus hernia; group 2, 16 patients (4%) with reflux esophagitis; and group 3, 290 patients (78%) with only a Billroth resection. Reflux disease occurred significantly more often in men than in women (7.5% vs. 2%, p<0.05). There was no difference in type of resection or in the presence of reflux esophagitis. Four patients had an esophageal cancer (only one adenocarcinoma). CONCLUSION:
