[Use of a new method for the determination of the duodeno- and jejunogastral reflux after gastric surgery].

The use of hepato-biliary sequential scintigraphy with 99mTechnetium as a new method to demonstrate duodenogastric or jejunogastric reflux is described. In contrast to other techniques, the benefit of minimal stress for patients, routine practice, and combined measurement of fasting and postprandial reflux is pointed out. First clinical studies in postoperative patients are presented and it is accentuated, that this technique has a special field of application in gastric surgery.
