Fifty-nine patients underwent duodenogastric diversion for bile reflux gastritis. Sixty per cent of 37 patients who underwent measurement of solid food gastric emptying had delayed gastric emptying. Patients were also assessed in terms of the degree of gastritis present endoscopically. Fifty-six patients were available for follow-up of from six months up to six years. The results demonstrated the following: Patients with delayed gastric emptying and reflux gastritis fared poorly after duodenogastric diversion; the greater the severity of gastritis visible by endoscopy, the better the results of diversion. Only 47% of patients achieved a satisfactory result of duodenogastric diversion.
