Abstract
The most common types of postgastrectomy disorders are the dumping syndromes (early postprandial and late or hypoglycemic) and alkaline reflux gastritis. Both are caused by destruction of the pyloric mechanism. A third problem, Roux-en-Y duodenal diversion, frequently results in delayed gastric emptying.
