Bile reflux into the gastric stump and then into the oesophagus is a common event after distal gastrectomy and Billroth II reconstruction. In addition to typical symptoms of nausea, epigastric pain and bile vomiting, acid reflux can also occur in patients with concomitant hiatus hernia and lower oesophageal sphincter incompetency. Diverting the bile away from the oesophagus by conversion into a Roux-en-Y anastomosis or by completion gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy have so far represented the mainstay of treatment. We report the first case of magnetic sphincter augmentation to relieve refractory reflux symptoms after Billroth II gastrectomy. The procedure was performed through a laparoscopic approach and proved very effective at 1-year follow-up.

Magnetic sphincter augmentation is an effective option for refractory duodeno-gastro-oesophageal reflux following Billroth II gastrectomy
