Popis: Duodenogastric reflux is quantified in ten patients with biliary lithiasis and a functioning gallbladder, before and six months after performing cholecystectomy. The results are compared with those of a control group (n = 10) with similar age and gender, without gastric or hepatobiliary pathologic factors. To evaluate reflux, we used six hour continuous intravenous infusion and subsequent determination in gastric juice of 99mTc-diethyliminodiacetic acid. Our results showed that patients with cholelithiasis have higher reflux rates than those in the control group (p0.001). When comparing patients before and after cholecystectomy, we confirmed that removal of the gallbladder produces a significant increase (p0.001) in reflux rates compared with preoperative values.
