Acid and Duodenogastroesophageal Reflux after Esophagectomy with Gastric Tube Reconstruction

Abstract

Reflux symptoms represented a poor indication of esophagitis in patients with esophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction. Simultaneous 24-h pH and bilirubin monitoring can help in identifying patients at high risk for reflux esophagitis, as well as indicating the cause of esophagitis.
