[Indications and results of Y-gastrojejunostomy after gastric resection (author's transl)].

The Y-gastrojejunostomy with a long jejunal loop is advantageous in the treatment of recurrent ulcer after gastric resection and in the treatment of persistent peptic esophageal stricture. The peptic damage of esophageal mucosa by gastric juice and bile is thus prevented, and the stricture can heal. In regard to the pathogenicity of duodenogastric bile reflux, the routine Y-technique in gastric resection seems reasonable.
