Management of postgastrectomy syndromes.
American Journal of Surgery 1990 January
There is still much to learn about the cause of postgastrectomy syndromes. Fortunately, most patients can be managed by conservative measures unless a mechanical cause, amenable to operative correction, is found. Thus, it is important to determine the type of postgastrectomy problem that is affecting the patient. In carefully selected patients, remedial operations may ameliorate the patient's symptoms and permit him or her to return to a normal lifestyle. Humoral factors have attracted increasing attention, especially in patients with the dumping syndrome. The somatostatin analogue octreotide has provided relief from the vasomotor and gastrointestinal symptoms of severe dumping but must be given three to four times a day by injection.
