Endoscopic Evaluation of Reflux Esophagitis After Proximal Gastrectomy: Comparison Between Esophagogastric Anastomosis and Jejunal Interposition

Abstract

Jejunal interposition helps prevent reflux esophagitis after proximal gastrectomy. The optimal length of the interposed segment is undetermined; however, a length of 10 cm or shorter is preferred for endoscopic evaluation of the remnant stomach.
