[Reflux esophagitis at remote periods after vagotomy for duodenal ulcer].

Results of a comparative clinico-instrumental and morphological examination of 163 patients are described. Vagotomy was shown not to exert great influence on the function of lower esophagus sphincter. In patients with duodenal ulcer and reflux-esophagitis it is expedient to perform anti-reflux interventions on the cardia to prevent further development of reflux-esophagitis and its complications.
