“…Like Conyers et al [22], we are convinced that (change in) body weight can be an outcome measure of reflux-preventing surgical procedures. Body weight is dependent on the lifestyle, diet, and psychological and stress factors.…”

Background: The aim of this study was to present the long-term results of the cut-closed-reconnected (CCR)-Roux procedure for reflux gastritis. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 14 patients with proven reflux gastritis and/or esophagitis who were treated at our institution with a CCR-Roux procedure between 1992 and 1997. Results: The closure of the afferent loop in the CCR-Roux procedure is effective and permanent. The CCR-Roux patients did not need a rest gastrectomy. No signs of Roux stasis syndrome were seen. There was a consistent weight gain at 2 and 5 years of follow-up. These results permit a comparison with those of the Roux-Y procedure and other alternative procedures as well. Conclusion: In the long run, the CCR-Roux procedure is effective in the treatment of reflux gastritis.

“…Conyers et al [22] reported a mean weight gain of 2.5 kg after a follow-up of 2.5 years, although in 44% of his patients the weight was not changed. According to Drapanas and Bethea [24], there is always a weight gain, but other authors reported loss of body weight [9,25].…”

“…The most satisfactory method of treatment (Conyers, Hall, Laing, Pulvertaft, and Willson-Pepper, 1960) is to do a Roux conversion. In this the afferent loop is divided off from the stomach and joined lower down to the efferent loop.…”

“…2) Nor is the efficacy of the Roux-en-y gastrojejunal anastomosis established. Wells and Johnston (1956) reported that their three patients who had Roux conversions for dumping symptoms were cured, whereas Conyers et al (1960) only saw an improvement in seven out of 22. However, the latter group admit that some of their failures may have been due to the loop being too short.…”

SummaryA clinical study was undertaken to determine the incidence of the dumping syndrome following partial gastrectomy and Roux-en-y gastrojejunostomy. Twenty-three patients were scored according to a clinical diagnostic index. There were no dumpers identified. A theoretical explanation for these findings is offered. A Roux-en-y conversion should be considered for patients with disabling dumping symptoms following gastric surgery.
